Wizz Air Airline

Wizz Air planes on the ground

The plan to launch Wizz Air was only conceived in June 2003 when six people with a wide range of airline expertise, as well as successful track records from across different industries, teamed up with József Váradi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to create what is today the largest low-cost – low-fare airline in Central and Eastern Europe.

In just three months, Wizz Air was a registered company ready to fly.   The first flight took off on 19th May 2004 from Katowice. Today Wizz Air has 5 operating bases in the region: Katowice, Warsaw, Gdansk in Poland, Budapest in Hungary and Sofia in Bulgaria. Wizz Air also offers flights from a number of other cities in CEE region and as a part of its Eastern European expansion, this summer the airline started flights from Croatia (Zagreb, Split) and Slovenia (Ljubljana) and on January 15, 2007 Romania (Bucharest, Arad and Targu Mures) will be added to the network. Since its start in May 2004 Wizz Air has carried close to 3.7 million passengers and has become the largest low fare, low cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe.
