Wizz Air continues its expansion in Poland

Wizz Air, Central and Eastern Europe’s largest low fare - low cost airline announced at a press conference in Gdansk today the next steps of its overall expansion in Poland. Following last week’s announcement of a significant growth and fleet expansion from Katowice, the airline now declared that in summer 2007 it will increase capacity of its Gdansk operations by close to 50% compared to the same period last year by also adding Malmö/Copenhagen and Doncaster/Sheffield from Gdansk to its network.

This will bring the total number of destinations from Gdansk Airport to 10. Additionally Wizz Air will base a second Airbus A320 aircraft in Gdansk in July 2007 and will hire more local staff.

The new flights are already on sale from 23.99 GBP (one-way, including taxes and charges) on the airline’s website, wizzair.com or through the Wizz Air call centre on +48 22 351 94 99.

 “We continue to lead the low fare development in Poland by growing ahead of the market. Last week we revealed a major growth plan for Katowice, today we are announcing a similar expansion in Gdansk. Wizz Air has become the largest airline of all at Gdansk Airport and remains committed to the region and will continue to offer more new destinations and more low fares, carrying over 0,6 million passengers next year." - said József Váradi, CEO of Wizz Air.

Wizz Air will be announcing further development plans in Poland next week.
