Wizz Air to launch Frankfurt flights
Wizz Air plans to introduce daily flights from Lufthansa’s main hub Frankfurt to Sophia beginning May 22 and Budapest from Dec 15, using a 230-seat Airbus A321. Wizz Air will become the second LCC, after Ryanair, to operate from Frankfurt. “By adding Frankfurt to our network, we are operating to 137 destinations [in 40 countries]," CCO George Michalopoulos said. Wizz Air said that after these services begin, it will offer 78 LCC routes from 11 German airports. Frankfurt airport operator Fraport said Wizz Air’s decision to start from Frankfurt proves that more LCCs are increasingly finding Frankfurt as a market of interest. Ryanair CE Michael O’Leary said recently that Ryanair will base additional aircraft in Frankfurt for the coming winter schedule. “Frankfurt will be not a main base for us, but it will grow more," he said. <br/>
