Change language:
The CEO of Wizz Air, József Váradi, believes that the lower prices offered by budget airlines could boost demand among both tourists and members of the diaspora. Next year, not only Wizz Air but also the Indian budget airline IndiGo might launch direct flights between India and Europe.
Wizz Air to fly to India soon
As Daily News Hungary reported last week, Wizz has received permission from Hungarian, Italian, and Austrian authorities to launch direct flights to India. Last November, Wizz received the green light from Italian authorities to begin flights to India, and in April this year, an unnamed airline applied to the Hungarian Ministry of Construction and Transport for permission to operate a Budapest–Mumbai route. Only the Asian country is left to approve of the plan.
According to Világgazdaság, these flights are expected to be operated by the Airbus A321XLR aircraft, which are set to arrive in the first quarter of 2025, with the airline scheduled to receive its first of these aircraft next February. The airline plans to take delivery of 47 of the planes, which will be capable of flights of up to eight hours, by the end of the decade, it announced in its annual report published in May.
