Hungary’s Wizz Air continuously highlights how smoothly it develops its fleet and routes, including new destinations one after the other, even in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. However, they decided to close one of their flights from Debrecen international airport. Meanwhile, their first flights to Saudi Arabia took off yesterday from Budapest.

According to okosutas.hu, Hungary’s leading low-cost airline, Wizz Air, has decided to close their flight to Paris Beauvais this winter. Before the COVID pandemic, the airline stationed two planes in the second biggest Hungarian city’s airfield. Now that number is only one, and it seems the company uses it even less frequently.

In the winter schedule, Wizz Air has only four destinations from Debrecen. Before, they communicated that they would not fly to the French capital from end-March, but they deleted all available flights in February and March. Unlike Ryanair, Wizz Air never communicates its flight cancellations. They only share information about the new destinations but refuse to comment or share information about negative news. It seems that is their market strategy. If you want to travel to Paris from Debrecen with Wizz Air, 27 January will be your last chance.

After that, you may only go to London, Tel-Aviv, Eindhoven and Larnaka from Debrecen with the Hungarian airline. In the summer, new destinations will include Mallorca, Burgas and Corfu.

We reported before that Wizz Air closed three European bases, one in Cardiff, Wales, one in Bacău, Romania and one in Bari, Italy.

Meanwhile, the Hungarian low-cost carrier announced the launch of direct flights between Budapest and destinations in Saudi Arabia yesterday. From 9 January, Wizz Air is operating flights between the Hungarian capital and Riyadh and Jeddah twice a week.

Those destinations have been reachable with Wizz Air from Austria and Italy since end-2022. Based on the plans, they would like to carry more than one million passengers to the Middle-Eastern monarchy in 2023. That is how they would like to help Saudi Arabia’s Vision 30 program aiming to triple the number of passengers choosing to travel there, the Hungarian News Agency (MTI) wrote.

Wizz Air flies to 10 Middle-Eastern destinations from Budapest, chairman Robert Carey pointed out in the company’s statement sent to the MTI.
