Wizz Air latest carrier to offer Blue Air rescue fares
Wizz Air has outlined big expansion in Romania and has also launched rescue fares for Blue Air customers, following its suspension of flights from Romania.
Affected Blue Air passengers can now book Wizz Air flights from €49.99 using their Blue Air booking reference.
Bookings can be made via Wizz Air’s special rescue fare site at https://wizzair.com/en-gb#/rescue.
Wizz Air is adding five aircraft to its base in Bucharest, as well as increasing capacity on flights to Bacau, Cluj-Napoca, Iași and Sibiu.
As part of this growth, the airline will also launch new routes from Bucharest to Athens, Prague and Larnaca and will increase frequencies on over 30 existing routes.
The first of the five new Airbus A321 aircraft to join the Romanian fleet will arrive at the start of October.
Once all the aircraft have been delivered, Bucharest will have a total of 17 based aircraft, and Wizz Air will have 2.6 million additional seats on sale from the Romania market.
“Wizz Air is excited to make such a significant investment into Bucharest and Romania. We know how important it is for passengers to be able to travel, and we want to ensure that customers have a diverse range of options when planning their trips,” said Evelin Jeckel, Acting Network Officer.
The expanded fleet will support increased frequencies to key destinations, including London, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, Brussels-Charleroi, Dortmund, Eindhoven, Madrid, and Tel Aviv.
