The plan to launch Wizz Air was only conceived in June 2003 when six people with a wide range of airline expertise, as well as successful track records from across different industries, teamed up with József Váradi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to create what is today the largest low-cost – low-fare airline in Central and Eastern Europe. In just three months, Wizz Air was a registered company ready to fly.
The first flight took off on 19th May 2004 from Katowice. Today Wizz Air has 5 operating bases in the region: Katowice, Warsaw, and Gdansk in Poland, Budapest in Hungary and Sofia in Bulgaria and offers flights to close to 50 destinations.
Wizz Air is a value-oriented airline that focuses on innovation all along the way of the customer journey. Their aim is to make flying affordable to the citizens of CEE, as well as to provide a new travel experience to all travellers in the EU. The latest technology is deployed to ensure that the “Wizz Air experience” is outstanding in terms of service and value for money. Wizz Air offers a ‘simple service model’, which means: ticketless travel, use of cost- and time-efficient secondary airports, single class all-leather seat configuration, no seat assignment and catering on demand for extra payment.
