Based operations will provide passengers with direct connections to eight destinations in six countries this upcoming winter and will secure its market leadership in providing wide portfolio of routes from Armenia to Europe and beyond.
Starting from October of this year, passengers can experience the convenience of new non-stop flights between Yerevan and Paphos, Bucharest, Hamburg, Naples, Nice, Memmingen, Bari, and Prague.
Wizz Air offers easy and convenient options to visit one’s family and loved ones or enjoy a holiday in one of these exciting and beautiful cities. The airline also increases frequency of flights to Dortmund to four flights per week. In total, Wizz Air will operate 17 routes to 10 countries and provide over 1.2 million seats on sale for passengers in during the current year.
This expansion is made possible with the opening of the 34th base in Wizz Air’s network at Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport, with two state-of-art Airbus A321neo aircraft, which offers a 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to previous generation aircraft, alongside a 50 percent reduction in noise footprint. Two thirds of Wizz Air’s fleet is comprised of these aircraft, and its average age is only 4.67 years, one of the youngest in the world.
Since the start of operations in Armenia in 2020, Wizz Air has transported over 2.2 million passengers contributing to creating nearly 2000 jobs in aviation and tourism. With the base opening, the airline is planning to hire around 100 new cabin and flight crew professionals to its team in Armenia while indirectly creating around 800 jobs in associated industries.
