Wizz Air low-cost air carrier reported over one million passengers to and from Varna airport for one year from opening its base in the seaside.
The investment in the base amounted to over $ 100 million and led to the opening of more than 40 jobs, the Hungarian airline said.

For this year there are over 460 000 sales of seats to and from Varna, which is nearly 40% growth compared to 2017.
