Wizz Air introduces Sofia-Varna domestic route
Wizz Air announced plans to expand its Sofia base in Bulgaria by deploying an additional new A320 aircraft starting from 12-Jul-08. The airline will commence new services from Sofia to domestic Varna, Milan-Bergamo, Valencia, Barcelona and Izmir (Turkey), and will increase frequency on existing services to London, Rome and Dortmund. By introducing the Sofia-Varna route, Wizz Air will become the first LCC to operate domestic services in Bulgaria. Concurrently, the launch of Sofia-Izmir service will be the first low fare route from Bulgaria outside of the EU.
Wizz Air is also launching its recruitment for pilots and cabin crew to be based in Sofia for staffing the new aircraft.
“This wave of expansion will triple Wizz Air’s current capacity in Sofia and will further strengthen its market leadership in the Bulgarian low cost airline sector. Our low fares combined with the convenient travel experience on board of our young A320 fleet continues to attract an ever increasing number of passengers allowing us to launch more destinations and flights from Sofia. We are especially proud of becoming the first low fare airline flying a domestic service in Bulgaria,” said József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air.
