Wizz Air to fly from Modlin in July
Low-cost air carrier Wizz Air will move its operations from Warsaw's Chopin Airport to the currently under-construction Modlin Airport, some 35 km from the capital, on July 18, company vice president John Stephenson told journalists.
The Hungarian carrier hopes the move will help it reduce operational costs, since take-off and landing, ground service and refueling at the new facility will be much cheaper than at Chopin Airport.
Wizz Air says the move could help it reduce costs by 15-20 percent. The carrier plans to service a total of 19 destinations from Modlin.
Competitor Ryanair, which is also due to start operating out of the new airport this summer, has grander plans. The carrier plans to offer a total of 40 destinations and service 3.5 million passengers annually from the airport.
