Wizz Air in dramatic growth

2009 proved to be an interesting year in terms of airline performance with some notable exceptions to the general scenario of falling numbers.  In Central and Eastern Europe Wizz Air, Hungarian-based but US-funded, stemmed the tide by carrying 7.8m passengers representing a 33% growth on the previous 12 months.  In the course of 2009 the Company opened a new base in Prague adding up to a total of 11 bases in Central and Eastern Europe; took delivery of 7 additional brand new aircraft bringing the fleet to 27 Airbus A320s; and launched 40 new routes, resulting in a network of 147 destinations.‪ www.wizzair.com
