Wizz Air has expanded its presence at Varna Airport with the arrival of a second aircraft, further strengthening its operations in Bulgaria. The airline celebrated this milestone with an official event, coinciding with the first flight from Abu Dhabi to Varna. This marks a significant step in Wizz Air's ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity and provide passengers with more travel options.

The airline also announced the resumption of three routes from Varna to Frankfurt-Hahn, Nuremberg, and Tel Aviv, along with an increase in the frequency of five existing routes. Additionally, starting April 29, Wizz Air will introduce a new twice-weekly year-round service to Leipzig, which will be the first such connection from Varna to the German city. With this latest addition, Wizz Air now operates a total of eight aircraft in Bulgaria.

The new Abu Dhabi-Varna route, which operates three times a week, reflects the airline’s commitment to expanding its Bulgarian network and providing more direct international connections. Tickets for this route, along with other services, are available for purchase on Wizz Air’s website and mobile app.

From April 14, passengers traveling from Varna will have more flight options to popular destinations, including Berlin, Dortmund, Memmingen, Hamburg, and Brussels Charleroi. These frequency increases aim to improve travel convenience for both leisure and business passengers. Ticket prices for these routes start at competitive rates, further supporting Wizz Air’s goal of offering affordable travel.

The expansion was welcomed by key industry figures and local officials, who emphasized the positive impact on regional tourism and economic development. Among those present at the official event were Alexa Weber, Wizz Air’s Marketing and Communications Manager, Dr. Frank Quante, CEO of Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD, Prof. Dr. Andriyana Andreeva, Regional Governor of Varna, and Snezhana Apostolova, Deputy Mayor of Varna.
