Wizz Air to introduce non-stop service from Silesia to Lviv

Budget airline Wizz Air will soon begin offering direct flights from the largest city in Poland’s Lower Silesia region, Wrocław, to the western Ukrainian hub of Lviv, the president of Wrocław’s International Airport said at a press conference on Wednesday. “Air travel will only take [approximately] half-an-hour and the trip [will be] much easier. We are pleased that the carrier appreciates the potential directions [toward] the East,” said Dariusz Kuś. The first flight on this route will start on April 13. Kuś emphasized that the new connection will be vital on two fronts – it will increase transportation opportunities for Ukrainians working and studying in Lower Silesia, as well as provide chances for Ukrainian tourists to visit the city. Lviv is the second Ukrainian city to which Wizz Air will fly, as Poles from lower Silesia can also fly from Wrocław to Kiev. Wrocław’s airport serves as the Poland’s operating base of the carrier.
