Wizz Air flights Lodz Stockholm Skvasta airport
On August 25th 2010 Wizz Air, the largest low fare - low cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, announced the opening of a new route from Lodz to Stockholm Skvasta.
Wizz Air confirmed in this way its previous declarations of further development in Lodz. After opening the Lodz - Dortmund connection on March 30th 2010, this will be the second route served by the carrier. Initially the Lodz - Stockholm route will be operated with 2 weekly frequencies on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The first flight will take off on 18 December 2010.
The opening of this route is the result of talks conducted between Wizz Air and Airport Marketing Team, established by the Mayor of Lodz. It shows the continued interest and commitment of Wizz Air, and will significantly increase the presence of the carrier in the Lodz market.
Wizz Air operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, consisting of only new Airbus A320s. The airline will fly 34 aircraft this summer. The remaining order for over 100 aircraft underpins the airline’s ability to grow its existing markets and to enter new territories in the years to come.
“Wizz Air has been implementing the ‘ultra low cost’ business model which gives us the ability to continuously stimulate the market, to compete effectively with other means of transport or airlines and weather the storms resulting from the macro-economic dynamics. An ultra low cost carrier always enjoys a ‘growth premium’ compared to the balance of the airline sector no matter whether the industry is in good times or facing challenges.” – said József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air. “Throughout our history we have demonstrated how effectively we can address challenges while continuing to build market leadership in our home territory in Central and Eastern Europe. That approach to the business remains critical to the success going forward especially in light of the troubled European operating market conditions as a result of the state of the European economies and fiscal policies as well as the impacts of disruptive regulatory measures.” – he added.

Cork to Milan Bergamo Ryanair service
Ryanair plans to operate a new Cork to Milan Bergamo service beginning on June 2nd, 2011.
The twice weekly service will operate on Thursdays and Sundays and has been launched with fares from €37.99 one way, inclusive of taxes. From midnight tonight passengers can book these €9.99 seats for travel on over 500 European routes in February. These seats can only be booked until midnight on Monday 10th January and are sure to be snapped up fast so we urge passengers to book them on www.ryanair.com before they sell out. Seats on the new route to Milan Bergamo start from €37.99.”
“Milan was identified as a key city region unserved from Cork and we are delighted to bring to fruition months of commercial effort to secure an international Airline to operate this new service from June next.
“2011 will bring plenty of challenges but we have started the year positively with a number of new route announcements. Despite 2010 being the toughest year on record for the aviation industry internationally, Cork Airport is looking forward to the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the Airport in 1961, with the commencement of new Ryanair services to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife in addition to Milan Bergamo plus the addition of a new Aer Lingus service to Palma Majorca this summer.
“In addition, we also have the new incentive scheme launched by the DAA in December for all three state airports at Cork, Dublin and Shannon, which will see passenger charges waived once an overall threshold for the three airports of 23.5 million passengers is reached.
Ryanair uses Bergamo Airport as a gateway to nearby Milan, but Bergamo represents a beautiful destination in itself, introducing visitors to the northern Italian region of Lombardy. The town of Bergamo is north-east of Milan, close to Lake Como and the foothills of the Alps.
