Wizz Air shared surprising details of some new routes

Wizz Air is to operate two new flights from the international airport of Brasov/Brassó in Transylvania. Among the anticipated destinations is Budapest. However, there is a twist.

Wizz Air goes to Brasov, but not how we expected

According to maszol.ro, the Hungarian low-cost airline announced its first flights from the newly-built Brasov International Airport located in Ghimbav (Vidombák). However, the budget airline said they would be in Dortmund and London instead of Budapest. The first planes will take off on 2 August to London-Luton and on 2 September to Dortmund, Germany. The former will commute on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while the latter route will be used on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

The director of the airport, Alexandru Anghel, said that they made a long and thorough analysis and they hope those would only be the first destinations of Wizz Air from the Ghimbav (Vidombák) Airport. London is practically a compulsory destination for all airlines in Romania: more than 100,000 citizens live, work, and study in the UK capital. Dortmund is the eighth biggest German city and a crucial cultural, educational, and economic centre. Brasov itself has more than 20,000 Hungarians citizens and Szeklerland is also very close with more than 750,000 Hungarians. Thus, the new flights concern a lot of local Hungarians.
