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 Jzsef Vradi, the Companys Chief Executive Officer. 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 11 operating bases in the region: Katowice, Warsaw, Gdansk and Poznan in Poland, Budapest in Hungary, Sofia in Bulgaria, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timisoara in Romania, Kyiv in Ukraine and Prague in Czech Republic, offering flights on over 130 routes. 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. Wizz Air is committed to operate new, best-in-their-class technology aircrafts, maintained by some of the most reputable companies such as Lufthansa Technik. This enables the company to achieve a consistently high standard of service for travellers. Wizz Air flies a young fleet of Airbus A320 aircrafts with 180 leather seats on board.
