Wizz Air launches new flights from Poland

No-frills operator Wizzar Air is to open an operational base at Poznan, in the west of Poland, and has announced the launch of two new routes to the UK.

Poznan is the airline's seventh base and from January 31, 2008 there will be flights to Doncaster Sheffield Airport and Glasgow Prestwick, complementing the existing service to Luton.

József Váradi, the airline's chief executive officer, said: "Wizz Air continues to pursue its expansion strategy in Poland with the establishment of the Poznan base early next year following the developments in Katowice, Warsaw and Gdansk. The move is expected to create hundreds of local jobs and significant revenue uplift for the tourism industry in the region."

Tickets will start from €19.99 (£13.50) one-way including fees and charges, with Wizz Air set to base a new A320 aircraft in Poznan staffed by a local crew.
