One Wizz Airplane will be permanently based in Lublin - Airbus A-320. 35 new workers were hired in relation to the airplane and passenger service. "It is a new plane with new colors. Lublin is the sixth WizzAir base in Poland. Poland, with as many as 21 planes, is our greatest operating base," the director for Wizz Air operation Dedrik Pen informed.
The launch of the base at Lublin airport corresponds with the introduction of new flight routes from Lublin. On Monday, flights left to Brussels , on Tuesday the first plane will go to Doncaster - Sheffield and on Wednesday to Glasgow.
