Traffic kicks off at new airport: Wizz Air flights started on Wednesday

Life is getting busier at the Brasov Airport, where the Wizz Air airline began operation on Wednesday. Although for the time being, it will expand the airport’s offers with only two weekly flights to London.

Wizz Air flights depart from Brasov Airport

In the recent period, the relationship between Dan Air and the Brașov–Vidombák International Airport has normalised, the Romanian airline adapted to the opening hours of the airport and restructured its schedule so that flights can take off and land between 7 AM and 7 PM, writes kronikaonline.ro. Wizz Air flights made their debut at Brasov Airport on Wednesday. Currently, apart from the popular charter flights to Greece and Turkey, only the Romanian airline Dan Air operates scheduled flights from the airport.

Budapest will be skipped

Although many expected that Wizz Air would also launch a flight to Budapest, no such announcement has yet been made. On top of that, citing low interest, Dan Air also cancelled the planned Budapest flight. All that is known about the Hungarian-owned airline is that they will fly to Dortmund from Brasov from September 2, and ticket sales have already begun according to a statement published on the company’s website.

What is certain about the much-anticipated Budapest flight is that the Brasó County officials conduct negotiations about launching a daily flight. Levente Magyar, the parliamentary state secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, announced on July 18 in Marosvásárhely that the decision to start the Budapest-Brassó direct flight has been made. In this way, another important region of Székelyföld (Szeklerland) can be reached from Budapest on a daily basis. However, he did not reveal more specifics.

Wizz Air will fly from Hungary to Egypt

As we reported earlier, Wizz Air announced its fourth flight connecting Hungary with Egypt. Wizz Air plans to operate two flights each week between Debrecen and Hurghada. They will commute on Thursdays and Sundays in the winter season. The first plane will take off from Debrecen’s renewed international airport on 29 October, and the company promised wallet-friendly prices. For the new Hurghada flight, prices will start from HUF 15,190 (EUR 40.5).
