NEW BIRMINGHAM - BUCHAREST ROUTE:

Tamara Mshvenieradze, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air said: "We are thrilled today to be adding a fourth route to Wizz Air’s Birmingham network. We have launched our first flights from Birmingham to Poland and Hungary only a couple of weeks ago and today add a third country reachable on Wizz Air’s low fares from Birmingham. The new route to Bucharest provides an opportunity for our business and leisure travelers to explore the capital of Romania on our low fares from only GBP 28.49*. Likewise, our low fares are attracting more visitors to the West Midlands, stimulating tourism and hospitality sectors as well as strengthening business relations between the two countries.”

Paul Kehoe, CEO of Birmingham Airport, commenting on the announcement said: “Great news today that WizzAir is adding another route to its network from Birmingham Airport.  The country of Romania is not currently served directly from Birmingham so this gives our passengers even more choice from their local airport.

The capital, Bucharest, with its commercial centre and the historic Lipscani district just next door has something that appeals to everyone.  This new route announcement shows the strength of the WizzAir brand, releasing another destaitnion just two weeks after its inaugural flight to Warsaw.”
