WIZZ AIR OPENS ITS IASI BASE

SIXTH BASE IN ROMANIA, 1 BASED AIRBUS A320, 8 ROUTES

Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, and Romania’s largest airline today celebrates the opening of its newest Romanian base in Iasi. The airline is initially deploying one Airbus A320 aircraft to be based at Iasi International Airport operating five new routes from Iasi to Larnaca, Bologna, Tel Aviv, Catania and Rome Ciampino starting from 1 July.

Already served by WIZZ flights, Iasi is becoming WIZZ’s sixth Romanian airport with base operations. The new aircraft increases the number of routes served from Iasi to eight and will triple the seat capacity to 265,000 in 2016. The airline hopes this will stimulate the local job market in aviation and tourism sectors as consumers will have access to more low cost routes.

2nd aircraft will be based a Belgrade next May

Should the existence of a Tuzla - Vaxjo route be less surprising than I find it (which is very)?

6th A320 will be based at KTW next summer

Tuzla-Vaxjo
 

Lots of Bosnians and others from that region ended up in Sweden. It's basically the equivalent of Doncaster-Katowice, which might appear equally odd to a Swede.

Just think of Zlatan Ibrahimovic ...

@AirportPlanner1: Ah! I see.

Oddly enough the airport the route did indeed initially make me think of was Doncaster, but then thought about just how many routes Doncaster and Tuzla have compared to Vaxjo, and decided that the comparison was more something like a random route springing up from Durham Tees Valley to Chisinau!

Wizz Air will commence a twice weekly Liverpool to Lublin service from 21 May 2017 operating every Wednesday and Sunday.

Also, for next summer, Liverpool to Budapest will increase to 3 weekly and will be flown by Airbus A321s in place of A320s.

Could anyone from Wizzair, or having worked there, sum up their experience there ?
Rosters, hours per year, work environment, etc..

Are the payscales here accurate ?
