Wizz Air inaugurated a new operational base established in Romania on June 7. This decision was determined both by the magnitude of the operations launched at January 15 and by the ambitious growth plans. Wizz Air has begun to operate flights from Tirgu Mures in July 2006 and from Bucharest in January 2007.

"The enthusiasm of passengers in Romania for our service offering of young aircraft flying to attractive destinations at consistently low fares has encouraged us to dedicate an aircraft and open an operational base in Romania. This decision also takes in consideration our significant growth plans in the country." stated Jozsef Varadi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air.

The operational base will function inside the Henri Coanda airport until the reopening of the Bucharest Baneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport and will host a new Airbus A320 aircraft with 180 leather seats. The aircraft will be flown by a Romanian team of pilots and cabin crew already hired.

Currently, Wizz Air is operating flights from Tirgu Mures to Budapest, Rome Ciampino and Barcelona and from Bucharest to Barcelona, Budapest, Dortmund, London Luton and Rome Ciampino. Starting October, Wizz Air will operate flights from Bucharest to Liverpool (Great Britain), Parma (Italy) and Valencia (Spain) and from Tirgu Mures to London.
