Low-cost airline Wizz Air officially opens its new hub at Bucharest's Băneasa Airport.
Wizz Air Establishes New Base at Bucharest's Secondary Airport
Here's a scoop on the latest development in the aviation world! Wizz Air has made a splash by setting up shop at Bucharest Băneasa Airport, the city's secondary airport. The airline's strategy to diversify has now extended to this off-the-beaten-path location.
This move comes with an Airbus A321neo aircraft set to serve the airport, a modern and eco-friendly aircraft choice that promises reduced fuel consumption and enhanced passenger capacity. However, further details about the A321neo's role in this new base aren't entirely clear at the moment.
It's worth noting that Băneasa Airport is primarily a hub for business and private aviation, with Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) being the major commercial hub in Bucharest. But who says a little shake-up can't happen?
Meanwhile, Wizz Air's footprint is also growing in other global locations. You might have heard about their expansion in Naples, Italy, adding another Airbus A321neo to their fleet there by October 2025. Additionally, they're planting their roots in Yerevan, Armenia, with two Airbus A321neo aircraft set to be based at Zvartnots Airport from the same month, bringing new routes to several European destinations into play, including Bucharest itself.
So, brace yourselves, Bucharest! The skies are about to get a whole lot busier with Wizz Air making their presence known at Băneasa Airport. As always, stay tuned for more insights on the ever-evolving world of aviation!
