Wizz Air will strengthen its positions in Warsaw and Gdansk by introducing flights to Glasgow Prestwick from 28 March 2006.

The airline has recently made a series of announcements on new destinations across its network including Wroclaw-Dortmund, Gdansk-Liverpool and Gdansk-Lübeck. These flights will commence at the beginning of March. Glasgow Prestwick will be Wizz Air’s first Scottish and third UK city after London Luton and Liverpool served from Poland.

The first flights will take off on 28 March 2006, both of them 3 times a week initially. Tickets for the flights are already on sale on the airline’s website, wizzair.com. or by calling the Wizz Air call centre on +48 22 351 94 99.

József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air said: "Poland has been rewarding Wizz Air for its continuous commitment and market expansion by flying with us in ever increasing numbers. Today we are offering Glasgow as a brand new UK destination for the Polish people, who can now choose to fly to 3 cities in Great Britain. We are also bringing Poland closer to the citizens of Scotland who will now be able to choose to fly easy and at low fares on our new Airbus A320 aircraft 3 times per week. We are delighted to work with Glasgow Prestwick airport, not only because of their mindset and understanding of the low cost model and particularly Wizz Air’s needs but also, because of their perfect location within Scotland."
