Wizz Air Announces New Direct Service from Birmingham Airport
Published on Wednesday, 02 January 2019
Wizz
Air recently relaunched a direct route to Romania’s second largest city,
Cluj-Napoca from Birmingham Airport. To mark the occasion, an inaugural
ceremony was held at the Airport where passengers and employees gathered to
celebrate.
The
166 passengers departing on the 07:40 flight were greeted with a celebration
for the new route which operates twice weekly on a Wednesday and Sunday.
Tom
Screen, Acting Aviation Director said: “Officially welcoming this new Wizz Air
route to Cluj-Napoca from Birmingham Airport is fantastic news. We are
constantly working with airlines to ensure that where there is demand for a
route we can provide enough choice to be able to meet it - whether this
involves the introduction of additional direct services or an increase in the
frequency of services.
“Cluj-Napoca
is an exciting addition to our growing variety of direct services. Home to
incredible architecture and gothic-style landmarks dating back to Saxon and
Hungarian rule, vibrant nightlife and a wide range of forests and parks,
Cluj-Napoca has something to offer everyone.
“We
are pleased this route has been reintroduced and look forward to making the
route a success for Wizz Air.”
Tamara
Vallois, Head of Communications at Wizz Air, said: “We are happy to celebrate the
commencement of an exciting new route at Birmingham Airport. Our newest route
from Birmingham connects the city with Romania’s second largest city, the
lively Cluj-Napoca, which brings an outstanding opportunity for the travellers
who seek adventure to explore real Romanian hospitality and the vibe of
Transylvania.
“Cluj-Napoca
offers bubbling nightlife and historical sights, a perfect combination for a
weekend trip to Central and Eastern Europe. We are sure that our UK customers
will enjoy visiting this special city as well as Birmingham will get even more
cosmopolitan with tourists visiting the region.
“We
would like to thank Birmingham Airport and look forward to welcoming many
passengers on board our sixth route from Birmingham.”
