Wizz Air Hungary Ltd. is a Hungarian low-cost airline with its head office on the property of Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport in Budapest. The airline typically uses secondary airports serving many cities across Europe, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. It has the largest fleet of any Hungarian airline, although it is not a flag carrier, and currently serves 35 countries. Its Jersey-based parent company, Wizz Air Holdings Plc, is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

Wizz Air started operations in Albania in April 2017 and has carried over 500,000 passengers over four years of successful operations. With today’s announcement, the airline will have a fleet of eight modern, state of the art young aircraft at its Tirana base by this Summer. Wizz Air remains highly committed to the Albanian market and to offering great services, paired with low fares for passengers. The airline is adding the new Albanian airport Kukës to its network with four new routes. The newly allocated capacity of over 784,000 seats per year will further contribute to the Albanian aviation market and to the creation of 84 new direct jobs with Wizz Air and 588 local jobs in the associated industries**. Together with the six new routes, Wizz Air now offers 42 routes to 13 countries from Tirana.

Wizz Air continues to ramp up recruitment in Albania as it looks to hire more cabin crew from its Tirana base. The airline will be hosting a series of cabin crew recruitment events on 11, 18 and 28 February in Tirana and eight additional events across the country. Wizz Air welcomes applications from experienced cabin crew, as well as those with no previous experience at all. The airline’s industry-leading training lasts between four and six weeks, depending on experience, and new recruits will benefit from being paid a salary during the entire training period.

Speaking at the press conference József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air, said: “Today brings great news for Albanian travellers and those who wish to visit the country. We are announcing more aircraft in Tirana, more travel opportunities with adding Kukës to Wizz Air’s network, more low fare routes, as well as more jobs, and our support to ramp up tourism in Albania.  Our modern aircraft, as well as our enhanced protective measures, will ensure the best possible conditions for travellers while operating the lowest environmental footprint. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board with great service, while we strive to become Europe’s greenest choice for air travel.”

Edi Rama, the Prime Minister of Albania, said: It is a special pleasure to find out that Wizz Air airline will start operating flights from Kukës Airport “Zayed – Wings of the North” towards European destinations. The new Kukës Airport was planned to be a low-cost airport from the beginning when this strategic investment was brought to life. Therefore, Wizz Air starting to fly from Kukës to Austria, Switzerland and two destinations in Germany is very important news for Albanians who want to travel at low cost. I believe that with the precious tradition the company has established in the market, they will be able to offer passengers a pleasurable flying experience, as the modern Wizz Air planes take off from the lands in the north of Albania.
