Polish passengers spell success for Hungarian budget airline Wizz Air

"Two million passengers will fly with us to and from Poland," announced company president Jozsef Varadi. Polish passengers will contribute to two-thirds of all the carrier's passengers, as the airline is hoping to transport three million travellers in 2006. "We closed last year with a 40% share of the market and we hope to keep this position this year," said Varadi. He went on to say that such a large growth in the number of ticket sales cannot be maintained much longer, but still the increment should stand at 20-30% annually for the next five years. "I think that in 2010 all cheap airlines will transport about 10 million persons. We would like 30-40% of this figure to be in our control," added Varadi. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 11) M.M.
