Wizz Air expands into Armenia with 2 new routes

Wizz Air will be expanding into Armenia with new flights from Vilnius and Vienna to Zvartnots International in Yerevan, the airline said Monday. Wizz Air said it expected to start flying the 2 twice-weekly routes in April 2020. Thursday, the carrier said it intended to create a subsidiary airline based in Abu Dhabi, which it expects to launch in the second half of next year. Wizz Air follows Ryanair, which announced 4 new twice-weekly routes in October, with flights from Yerevan to Milan Bergamo and Rome Ciampino expected to start in January. “We have put a great effort in decreasing costs for airlines operating in Armenia,” Tatevik Revazian, chair of the Civil Aviation Committee of Armenia, said. <br/>
