Wizz Air, a leading low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, has launched a new route from its Cluj-Napoca base in Romania.

It will operate two flights a week - on Tuesday and Saturday - from the base to the Dubai World Central Airport, said a statement.

With this new service, Wizz is now offering a combined total of 93 routes to 42 destinations in 15 countries from eight Romanian airports, with two routes now connecting Romania to the UAE.

Daniel de Carvalho, spokesman for Wizz Air, said: "We are delighted to announce such an exciting destination for our Cluj-Napoca route network. The new route to Dubai not only reinforces Wizz’s market leadership in Romania; it also consolidates our offering of popular holiday destinations for Transylvanian consumers.

“The decision to increase services to Dubai from Romania follows the good results we have enjoyed with our Bucharest-Dubai route. We are sure that this new service will be welcomed by our customers who can now enjoy a very popular all year round holiday destination with Wizz's everyday low fares." - TradeArabia News Service
