Wizz Air is launching a new flight three times a week to Cairo from 30 October in the wake of “lengthy negotiations” and diplomatic efforts, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Sunday.
Hitherto, Cairo International Airport had “basically excluded” low-cost airlines, he said in a Facebook post. Hungary’s government has kept the issue on the agenda at every meeting since 2022, until the Egyptian tourism ministry issued the necessary paperwork, he said. “A new destination has become available, and a new economic link has been created between two countries,” he said.

Wizz Air changes fleet
In 13 June, Wizz Air announced it would make its entire aircraft fleet at London Luton Airport (LLA) Airbus A321neo by 2025. Wizz Air has 11 aircraft stationed at its base in London Luton Airport with an average age of 3 years. The share of the new ‘neo’ technology in the airline’s fleet at LLA has already surpassed 50 percent and will reach 100 percent by 2025.
The Airbus A321neo has 239 seats in a single-class configuration. The aircraft incorporates the latest technologies in aviation. The new technology offers a nearly 50 percent reduction in noise footprint, a 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and 50 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions compared to the previous generation aircraft. The Airbus A321neo can currently fly with up to 50 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend.
