Wizz Air to resume flights to Larnaca and Burgas from Hungary, while popular route faces halt
Wizz Air is soaring back to popular destinations this summer, resuming flights to Larnaca and Burgas from Debrecen International Airport. The Hungarian airline is not just expanding its routes but also making waves in safety, ranking seventh among the world’s top low-cost carriers in 2024. Despite a slight drop from the year before, Wizz Air remains a strong contender in the skies.
Wizz Air resumes popular flights
Hungarian low-fare airline Wizz Air will resume its flights to Larnaca, Cyprus, and Burgas, Bulgaria, from Debrecen International Airport in the summer as part of the implementation of a comprehensive airport development strategy, the National Economy Ministry said. The state as majority owner considers it a priority in 2025 to increase traffic at the airport to the level of the year 2019 or higher by resuming successful earlier flights or launching new ones, the ministry added. The airport’s management aims to add more flights to the summer timetable in future and is also in talks to expand all-year flights, the ministry said.
Malta-Pécs-Munich flights suspended
As Airportal reports, Universal Air has suspended its Malta-Pécs-Munich flights for the winter 2024/25 season, with bookings unavailable until May 2025. The airline had originally planned to operate these flights on Fridays and Sundays, but cancellations and poor communication have led to passenger frustration. Pécs Airport confirmed it had not been officially notified, though the suspension is expected to last until spring. Universal Air, which began in 2022, previously ran three weekly flights on this route during the summer.
Wizz Air among the 10 safest low-cost carriers
Airportal also writes that Wizz Air ranked seventh among low-cost carriers in the 2024 Airline Ratings ranking, slipping from fourth place the year before. The list, which evaluates 385 airlines based on factors like fleet age, safety measures, and audit results, placed Hong Kong Express first, followed by Jetstar Group and Ryanair. The Hungarian airline, despite its strong performance, fell behind competitors such as Ryanair and Easyjet.
