Exciting: Hungarian Wizz Air will conquer far-away, exotic countries from 2025

József Váradi has been at the helm of the Hungarian low-cost airline since its start in 2004. Now he talked about some ambitious future plans to an Italian magazine. He mentioned the new routes becoming available with the company’s newly-acquired planes and how the problems with Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engines will impact expansion plans.

Far-away and exotic countries can become available with Wizz Air thanks to new planes

According to italiavola.com, Mr Váradi met the press in Milan to talk about his future plans with the successful Hungarian budget airline, Wizz Air. He told TTG Italia that they already carried more than 400 million passengers and shared some additional numbers they can be proud of. He added they flew 207 planes from 193 airports, offering 800 routes for their passengers on three continents.

We wrote several times that the problems with Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engines may result in delays and cancellations in the airline’s summer schedule. Mr Váradi said that the engine problem would be resolved by end-2025. Furthermore, despite 20% of their fleet being grounded, they are flying much more than in 2019.
