Wizz Air, the largest low fare – low cost airline in Ukraine and in Central and Eastern Europe announced today that it would restart operations in Western Ukraine following the successful completion of runway reconstruction works at Lviv International Airport.

Starting in March 2012, the airline will reinstate two popular routes previously flown from Lviv: to Dortmund (Germany) and to Venice Treviso (Italy).

“Lviv is expecting a sharp increase in the number of foreign visitors in 2012, starting with the EURO 2012 Football Championships, so modernization of the airport infrastructure, resulting in an improved travel experience, is well-timed,” - said Sergii Dementiev, Director General of Wizz Air Ukraine. “The reintroduction of these popular German and Italian destinations will also create a truly affordable and convenient travel opportunity for many Ukrainians working abroad or travelling for business or leisure purposes,” – he added.

Tickets are already on sale at wizzair.com. Fares start from as low as UAH 295 (one way, including taxes).
