The flights and destination map of Hungary’s low cost airline Wizz Air in Ukraine would be expanded by two new destinations – from Kyiv to Athens from May 21 and from Kyiv to Thessaloniki from May 20, 2019. “With these two new routes connecting Ukraine with Greece, Wizz Air is now offering a total of 45 routes to 13 countries from 3 Ukrainian airports in 2019,” the airline said in a press release on Tuesday.
The low-fare connection Kyiv-Athens is commencing on May 21 with two weekly frequencies, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, while flights on a route Kyiv-Thessaloniki are commencing on May 20 and will be operated two times per week, on Mondays and Fridays.
The fares start from EUR19.99 one way, including all taxes and fees.
The airline also said that in 2018, Wizz Air carried over 1.5 million passengers on its low fare routes to and from Ukraine, which represents more than 107% growth compared to the similar period last year and makes Wizz Air the largest low cost carrier in Ukraine.
