Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, today announced
a new route from Birmingham to Sofia, capital of Bulgaria. The route will commence
on Monday 28 March 2016 and will be operated by Airbus A320s with two weekly flights
on Mondays and Fridays. The new service will be Wizz Air’s sixth low-fare route from
Birmingham, along with Bucharest, Budapest, Poznan, Warsaw and Wroclaw
Tamara Mshvenieradze, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air said: "We are
thrilled to announce a sixth route from Birmingham Airport, one of our eight UK airports,
today. Birmingham is now connected with four countries on WIZZ’s low-fares: Hungary,
Romania, Poland and Bulgaria we look forward to a fruitful partnership with Birmingham
Airport as well as to seeing many happy passengers on board"
William Pearson, Aviation Development Director at Birmingham Airport said: "This news
has really got 2016 off to a great start. We're very excited about Wizz Air's growth at
Birmingham and delighted to see Sofia being added to the growing route network available
from Birmingham. Having launched only in September 2015 with flights to Warsaw and
Budapest, the carrier has since launched flights to Poznan and will be operating to Wroclaw,
Bucharest and Sofia from the summer, as well as increasing services to the popular city
of Budapest from two to three times weekly. Wizz is recognising the opportunities available
from the Midlands region and opening up many brand new destinations, which are proving
to be very popular with those visiting relatives and enjoying short leisure breaks"
