Wizz Air, the largest low cost low fare airline in Central and Eastern Europe announced today that the Company would be entering Slovakia by operating flights between Bratislava and Rome 4 times a week initially, starting from 20 September 2009.
The Slovak customers will now benefit from Wizz Air’s offer of low fares coupled with a great customer experience onboard of its brand new Airbus A320 aircraft. Wizz Air also extends its lowest fare guarantee to the Slovak market to reinforce its commitment to offer the best value for money.
„Slovakia has always been on our horizon. We believe that now is the time to step up and benefit from the arising opportunities on the market. This is the first step, many more to follow.” – said John Stephenson, Executive Vice President of Wizz Air.
Wizz Air carried over 6,5 million passengers in the last 12 months. The airline's fleet is currently consisting of 25 Airbus A320 aircraft operating from 11 bases in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.

Wizz seem to be quietly carving up a huge niche in the European and 'close to' Europe market.
I wasn't myself if I didn't mention our Finnish "niche" market. You have some planes in Bulgaria, don't you? Try some connections to Finland therefrom. I'm not a special enthusiast of the Bulgarian beaches, but many young Finnish people really are. Give it a try (or take them anywhere towards the sun).

Almost every airline in the CE Europe is offering stranded SkyEurope passengers discounted flight tickets, Wizz Air is no exception. The demand is huge apparently, as Wizzair's website just... disappeared (a while ago). There is no reason to be distressed, though. Wizz uses the same software provider as Ryanair does and, as already proven with them, both Open Skies and New Skies obviously hate such an intense traffic.

Pee, top marks to you for always trying to promote your own airports in Finland and for trying to encourage Ryanair and Wizz to start some new routes.
I should now like to propose we all get together to do our best to encourage Ryanair or Wizz to do a Tampere - Cork, even if it was just on a summer seasonal basis doing two flights a week!
That would be something!

What are the odds that wizz open a new base at Belgrade sooner rather than later considering JAT's troubles recently or where else could there next base be? Not many places left in eastern europe without wizz
