The airline has carried over 64,000 passengers between Cork and Poland since it commenced operations last year

Sunday, July 15th, 2007. Wizz Air is celebrating its first anniversary of operations at Cork Airport.
 
The airline's first flight from Cork Airport took off on July 14th last year to Katowice in Poland. The airline subsequently added a service to Gdansk and currently operates a three-times weekly service to Katowice and Gdansk. The airline has carried over 64,000 passengers between Cork and Poland (Gdansk and Katowice) since it commenced operations in July last year.  
 
"Wizz Air provided Cork Airport with our first direct connection to Poland and it has proved a success with passengers travelling in both directions as Cork, Katowice and Gdansk are all popular destinations. We are delighted to celebrate the route's first birthday and hope the service will continue to go from strength to strength into the future. Wizz Air offers excellent service as a low cost carrier operating on these Polish routes and provides a friendly and efficient service," said Kevin Cullinane, Cork Airport's Marketing Manager.

Natasa Kázmér, Head of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs said: "We are glad to celebrate the first anniversary of our Cork-Katowice route. The passenger numbers proved that there is an ever increasing demand for low fare routes between Ireland and Poland. The air links allows Irish passengers to discover Southern Poland and the Northern coast of the country, both being rich in historical sites as well as beautiful nature. We are pleased to be able to work with Cork Airport and continue to offer low fares to our passengers."
 
In May of this year, Wizz Air took delivery of the first of its 32 new A320 aircraft. The aircraft features the all-new family cabin, giving passengers more space and a significantly smoother travel experience. Wizz Air expects to operate 53 aircraft by 2011.  With further aircraft deliveries over the next five years, this will ensure that the airline continues to operate one of the youngest and most modern fleets in the world.
