Wizz Air

Wizz Air is an ultra-low-cost airline based in Budapest, Hungary. Its website says planning for the airline began in June 2003, when six people with airline expertise teamed up with chief executive Jozsef Varadi. The airline focuses on no-frills travel at low prices and flies to primary, secondary and regional airports.

Fleet

Wizz Air operates an all-Airbus fleet of A320 family aircraft, including A320 and A321 models. The company highlights the Airbus A321neo, whose new generation engines it says give lower fuel use and emissions per passenger. Its news pages describe Hungarian based aircraft in Budapest and Debrecen.

Route pages on wizzair.com show service from Budapest and from other bases to cities such as Bucharest, Krakow, Tirana, Warsaw, Milan, Istanbul, Barcelona, Lisbon, Cologne, Oslo and destinations in Montenegro. The company has announced new Budapest routes from Poland and other countries.
