Based on information shared by a Hungarian air travel news portal Facebook page, Wizz Air is set to launch six new flight routes from Budapest to various European destinations. Here’s what we already know about this exciting announcement.
According to Budflyer, Wizz Air is gearing up to start operations on these new routes starting from June, connecting Budapest to several European cities.
To Yerevan, Armenia, Wizz Air will operate three flights per week, with the first flight scheduled for 17th June. Ticket prices will start from EUR 41.4, as reported by Pénzcentrum.
The additional destinations and their respective details are as follows:
- Brussels, Belgium (from 19 June with five planes per week, tickets starting from EUR 41.4),
- Brassó-Brașov, Romania (Brasov, from 18 June, three times a week, tickets starting from EUR 15),

- Stuttgart, Germany (from 18 June, five times a week, tickets starting from EUR 25.5),
- Valencia (from 17 June, three times a week, tickets starting from EUR 31.2).
According to the travel news Facebook page, these new flights are already available for booking through the Hungarian budget airline’s system. The announcement comes as a surprise, considering Wizz Air‘s recent focus on addressing issues with Pratt & Whitney engines, resulting in several grounded planes awaiting maintenance. We detailed these issues in our previous article HERE.
We will continue to update this article as more information regarding the expansion becomes available.
