The new Airbus A321neo aircraft is one of the two announced by the airline in early 2024. 

Wizz Air also announced a new route to Chisinau and increased frequencies on 11 routes from the Romanian capital.   “Bucharest is of crucial importance to Wizz Air, and it is excited to continue its rapid expansion with yet another state-of-the-art Airbus aircraft and growing 14% in seat capacity in summer 2025 compared to summer 2024,” the company said.   The new Airbus A321neo aircraft, set to join the Romanian fleet in July 2025, will enhance existing connectivity with increased frequencies on 11 of Wizz Air’s existing routes from Bucharest. The targeted routes link the Romanian capital to Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Bari, Madrid, Dortmund, Valencia, Basel, Memmingen, Nice, Hamburg, and Billund.   The new route from Bucharest to Chisinau will begin to operate on March 30, 2025. Sales would be open from November 14, 2024, with the prices starting at EUR29.99.   Wizz Air currently operates a diverse network of 189 low-fare routes from 12 airports in Romania, connecting passengers to 86 destinations across 27 countries. Over the 18 years of continuous growth the airline established 6 operational bases in the country in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Timisoara, Craiova and Sibiu, employing over 1,400 employees in Romania, while indirectly supporting over 9,200 local jobs in related industries.   “We are proud market leaders in Romania with 35% market share and thrilled to further expand our network from the Bucharest Otopeni Airport, introducing a new route to Chisinau and simultaneously increasing frequencies on 11 existing routes from Bucharest.  This expansion will provide additional 700,000 seats on sale annually for passengers travelling to and from Bucharest this upcoming summer, securing 14% capacity growth compared to the last summer”, said Mauro Peneda, Managing Director, Wizz Air Malta.
