Wizz Air to Warsaw Modlin

Claimed to be the largest low fare airline in Central and Eastern Europe, and now effectively based in Geneva, Wizz Air has confirmed that it will move its entire Warsaw-based operations to the civilianised Modlin Airport on 18 July (See last week’s AERBT).

Wizz Air took the decision to move its Warsaw operational base from Chopin to Modlin for commercial reasons.  The new airport will operate on a 24/7 basis and will allow the carrier to fly its schedule more efficiently without the operational constraints that exist in the main airport.  Most importantly it notes, costs associated with Modlin Airport will be significantly lower, enabling the airline to slash fares for the travelling public.

The airline flies to Luton 25 times per week; and to Barcelona (3 times weekly), Bourgas (3 – seasonal), Brussels Charleroi (7), Cork (2), Doncaster Sheffield (2), Forli Bologna (2), Glasgow Prestwick (2), Gothenburg (3), Malmo (3), Milan Bergamo (4), Oslo Sandefjord Torp (5), Paris Beauvais (4), Rome Fiumicino (5), Stavanger (3) and Stockholm Skavsta (7).

Ryanair is also moving its Warsaw operations to Modlin and on 28 October introduces a three times per week Liverpool service. www.wizzair.com
