Wizz Air is expanding its Budapest fleet to 19 aircraft with a shiny new addition, paving the way for five exclusive new routes from the Hungarian capital and frequency boosts on six existing ones, the airline announced to MTI on Wednesday.

Wizz Air introduces new flights from Budapest

From June, passengers can jet off to two fresh Greek hotspots: the idyllic island of Kefalonia and the sun-kissed southern Peloponnese around Kalamata. Spain gets a treat too, with a new service to Menorca launching that same month.

Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast joins the map directly, with twice-weekly flights to Varna from June and four weekly trips to Krakow starting late April.

Alongside these novelties, the 19th plane will ramp up capacity on six established routes, meaning more weekly services to Antalya, Yerevan, Malaga, Malta, Targu Mures and Tallinn, the Hungarian News Agency wrote.

Wizz Air operates a mighty fleet of 256 Airbus A320 and A321 jets, ferrying 63.4 million passengers in its 2025 financial year. Back in December 2025, the carrier revealed its half-year results: revenues surged 9 per cent to EUR 3.342 billion, post-tax profits climbed 2.6 per cent to EUR 323.5 million, and operating profit soared 25.8 per cent past EUR 432 million.
