Hungarian
airline "Wizz Air" announced Wednesday the operating of six new
destinations from Macedonia, supported by Government's subsidies.
After the agreement's signing with Minister of
Transport and Communications Mile Janakieski, Wizz Air Executive
Vice-President John Stephenson said the investment regarding the new
destinations would cost them US$ 80 million, accompanied by the opening
of 300 new jobs.
As of October 28, Wizz Air will launch flights to
Dortmund and Eindhoven, with prices for one-way ticket starting from EUR
12,99 and 17,99 respectively. Two weekly flights are also scheduled for
Malmo, Milan and Munich starting from October 29, with ticket prices
ranging from EUR 8,99 to 17,99 for a one-way ticket. Moreover, Wizz Air
will fly to Basel three times a week as of October 30, with ticket
prices starting at EUR 17,99.
According to Stephenson, Wizz Air will introduce
flights to and from Brussels starting from next summer, with Rome and
Barcelona in their thoughts, depending on the citizens' needs.
The airline is planning to employ local staff. The
pilots will initially be foreigners, but would later be recruited from
the country's professionals.
In line with the three-year agreement, the Government will allocate Denar 306 million (EUR 5 million) in subsidies.
Minister Janakieski said the new destinations are attractive, suiting the citizens' needs.
