Wizz Air expanding its presence in Armenia

ArmInfo. In October 2026, Wizz Air will increase the number of aircraft based in Yerevan to three and launch two new routes, once again confirming its long- term commitment to the country, as stated by Ian Malin, CFO of the  Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air, during a press conference on March 27.

Specifically, the new routes will include flights  to Eindhoven  (Netherlands), starting on October 26 this year, operating three  times a week, and flights to Brussels (Belgium), starting on February  1, 2027, also three times a week. Ticket prices start at EUR 29.99.

"We' are planning to increase the frequency of flights on existing  routes," Malin said. Specifically, flights to Budapest will run 2 to  4 times a week, to Paris 3 to 5 times, to Frankfurt 2 to 3 times, and  to Prague 4 times a week, throughout the year. "This means we're  increasing capacity by 20%, and we expect to serve 1 million  passengers in 2026," Wizz Air's CFO said.

He noted that the addition of a third aircraft will be an important  step in strengthening the airline's presence in Armenia and will  contribute to the further development of Yerevan as a regional  aviation hub.

Currently, Wizz Air  operates flights from Armenia to 17 destinations  in 10 countries. In 2025, the airline transported around 950,000  passengers to and from Armenia.
