Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, today announced its 19th base to be opened in Craiova (Romania) in July 2014 with one based aircraft. The new Airbus A320 aircraft will be delivered in Craiova on 23 July 2014.
The new aircraft will support operations of a total of 6 Craiova routes and increase seat capacity in the first 12 months of based operations to over 260,000 seats.
