Airline & Airport Updates

Wizz Air has announced plans to introduce a new cheap flight to Dortmund in Germany, from its Budapest base in October.

Services will run three times a week and complement existing Wizz Air flights to Dortmund from Katowice.

As well as adding the new cheap flights to Budapest, Wizz plans to increase frequency on the Polish service.

Budapest will be the ninth destination served by Wizz at Dortmund, with flights to Gdansk, Poznan, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Cluj, Bucharest and Sofia, as well as Katowice, already available.

This announcement follows news from easyJet that it plans to cut the number of flights to Dortmund currently offered.

The carrier has opened a 90-day consultation with its staff at the German airport to decide whether or not to close its Dortmund base after revealing it will cut 50 percent of all winter flights to the city.
