Wizz Air to Open Operating Base in Tirana with 15 New Lines from July
Wizz Air announces a big new expansion in the Balkans. The Hungarian low-cost airline carrier will station three Airbus A320 aircraft at the Mother Theresa Airport in Tirana (TIA) on July 1, from where it will fly to 15 new destinations.
After the company's new bases in Milan and Larnaca were announced, as well as six new lines from Salzburg, Wizz Air also announced that it would establish its 30th base in Europe in Tirana.
Initially, there will be three aircraft, traveling to 15 new destinations from July 1. New lines are to be established to Bari, Basel, Paris (Beauvais), Berlin (Schonfeld), Catania, Brussels (Charleroi), Eindhoven, Frankfurt (Hahn), Hamburg, Heraklion, Karlsruhe (Baden Baden), Milan (Malpensa), Prague, Rhodes and Turin.
The Hungarian low-cost airline carrier established flights to Tirana in 2017, when a Budapest line was established. So far, over half a million passengers have been transported from the capital of Albania. The operating base in Tirana will create 100 new direct jobs. From the 15 new lines, Wizz Air will expand the network of lines from Albania this year to 25 cities of Europe, and the annual capacity available to passengers will be 800,000 seats.
