Wizz Air announced at a press conference in Warsaw that it would increase capacity on its Polish network by 30% in 2010. Wizz Air carried 3.6 million passengers in Poland in 2009 and plans to fly 4.7 million passengers in 2010.

The airline's Polish fleet will increase to 14 Airbus A320 aircraft by March 2010.
Following the earlier announced expansions in Gdansk and Warsaw as well as the opening of the Wroclaw base Wizz Air will also expand operations in Katowice by adding a new aircraft in March 2010.

Also in March Wizz Air will start flying Lodz, the 6th Polish airport the airline operates from. The carrier will open 22 new routes and reinstate the summer seasonal services. The airline's Polish network will consist of 86 routes next summer. All the new flights are already on sale for as low as PLN 80. Bookings can be made on wizzair.com or by calling the call centre.

"Wizz Air will overtake the national flag carrier in terms of carried passengers and will become the single largest Polish airline in 2010. Beyond that the expansion will create 1,500 new local jobs in Poland" said Jozsef Varadi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air.
