Wizz Air, the low fare – low cost airline in Ukraine and in Central and Eastern Europe announced that it would restart operations in Western Ukraine following the successful completion of runway reconstruction works at Lviv International Airport.
Starting in March 2012, the airline will reinstate two popular routes previously flown from Lviv: to Dortmund (Germany) and to Venice Treviso (Italy).
“Lviv is expecting a sharp increase in the number of foreign visitors in 2012, starting with the EURO 2012 Football Championships, so modernization of the airport infrastructure, resulting in an improved travel experience, is well-timed,” said Sergii Dementiev, Director General of Wizz Air Ukraine. “The reintroduction of these popular German and Italian destinations will also create a truly affordable and convenient travel opportunity for many Ukrainians working abroad or travelling for business or leisure purposes,” he added.
Also, starting 13 January 2012, Wizz Air, will add Dortmund to its destinations from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (BUD). The airline will offer the new Budapest – Dortmund service initially 2 times a week (Mondays and Fridays), increasing to 3 times from 27 March (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays). With this new route there will now be 22 major European cities accessible from Budapest with Wizz Air next year.
“Wizz Air is now offering a truly affordable connection to the German region of Rhine-Westphalia from Budapest. This is an important development for many travelers who are either visiting or living in Germany, especially as Dortmund is not just an important economical and cultural centre, but also offers convenient ground transportation connections to many other major cities in the region,” said John Stephenson, Executive Vice President of Wizz Air.
