Wizz Air will operate flights to 64 destinations in 30 countries from Budapest and Debrecen this summer. The Hungarian low-cost airline will also expand its 12-aircraft Budapest base with a new Airbus A321neo from June.

Following Ryanair CEO’s Budapest conference, Wizz Air issued a statement

Just a few hours after Ryanair held a press conference in Budapest and announced this year’s Budapest schedule (you can find our article covering that at the bottom), Wizz Air also issued a statement. The Wizz statement said that it expects another record-breaking year in terms of bookings in 2023, following last year’s record-breaking passenger numbers.

The airline – which describes itself as Hungary’s market leader in the announcement – will launch flights to 30 countries on 64 routes from Budapest and Debrecen in summer 2023, airportal.hu reports.

No mention of specific routes yet

The announcement does not mention any specific routes or increases in the number of flights. Wizz Air will provide 32 percent of all seats available from Hungary by summer 2023, thanks to continued capacity growth, the statement said, citing currently available data.

The airline has responded to the increase in passenger numbers by further expanding its Budapest base, which previously consisted of 12 aircraft, with a new Airbus A321neo from June.

The statement recalls that Wizz Air carried a record number of passengers last year, doubling its 2021 performance, with a seat load factor of 84.5 percent in December, an increase of 9.1 percent compared to the previous year. The announcement also said that Budapest and Hungary are a key base for Wizz Air and it remains committed to domestic growth.
