He says the company sees Romania as an expanding market, it wants to develop its network, bring new aircraft, enter new airports and launch new routes to boost connectivity.
Wizz Air targets 15 million passenger traffic by 2025-2026 on the Romanian market.
In Romania, the company started operating in 2007 and it now has over 1,000 employees here. Varadi specifies the airline has a 43% share of the Romanian market.
The company’s CEO also says that should Wizz Air reach 9,4 million passengers in Romania, the business will hit EUR500-600 million.
The occupancy rate rose to 85% in January and to 96-97% in February, 25% higher from the previous year. In 2019, the company carried 9 million passengers to and from Romania, but the pandemic more than halved traffic.
