Mr Kehoe said, "It is fantastic to welcome another new airline to Birmingham; our seventh this year. Both
Warsaw and Budapest are popular tourist destinations that have not been served from Birmingham for some
time so we are extremely pleased to be able to offer our customers even more choice and thank Wizz Air for
recognising the Midlands as a new market opportunity"
These two new routes each operate twice a week, with Warsaw operating each Monday and Friday and
Budapest each Tuesday and Saturday. Flights are available to book via wizzair.com from £15.49 each way
Councillor Fran Oborski MBE, said "With such a large Polish Community living in the Midlands, this new
Warsaw service will be welcomed by many who need greater connectivity to visit friends and family. Warsaw
is also a stunning city with varied architecture and thriving nightlife and music scene so I am certain that
the route will also be popular with Midlanders wanting to explore Poland’s fascinating capital city"
