Wizz Air to launch new Ireland to Poland link

Wizz Air is to begin a route between Gdansk in Poland and the southern Irish city of Cork.

Initially to be run three times a week, flights will begin on December 15 with prices from €38.99 one-way, including taxes and charges.

The route will build on Wizz Air's other link between Ireland and Poland, from Cork to Katowice, which is set to begin flying in a week's time.

Gdansk, a historically important seaport, lies on the northern coast of Poland and Wizz Air expects its promise of low cost travel to attract many tourists.

"We are proud to announce another great low-fare route from Cork to Poland," said the airline's director of corporate communications, Natasa Kazmer.

"[Gdansk's] beauty and affordable living will soon make this region one of the most exciting places to be."

Cork Airport's chief executive, Pat Keohane, welcomed the new connection, saying: "Cork Airport is fast becoming a gateway to eastern Europe and Poland in particular."

Tickets for the route are on sale now. For flight schedules customers should check the Wizz Air website, as departure days vary.
