WIZZ AIR ANNOUNCES A NEW SUNNY DESTINATION FROM VIENNA

Wizz Air, one of Europe’s fastest growing airlines and the leading low-cost carrier in Central and Eastern Europe, announces a new route from Vienna to Eilat in Israel. From today on Austrian customers can purchase the tickets starting from just 29.99 EUR* to this unique destination on wizzair.com.

Starting operations on 17th of November 2018 the new service to Eilat will be the first direct connection from Vienna and will be operated twice a week during the winter season. Eilat is Israel’s most southern city, a busy port and popular resort at the northern tip of the Red Sea. The city’s beaches, coral reefs, nightlife and desert landscapes make Eilat a popular destination for international tourists – especially during Winter time.

In addition to the new route, responding to the increasing demand for Wizz Air services and genuinely low fares, four long awaited routes from Vienna will start to operate earlier. The connections from Vienna to Catania (Italy), Lisbon (Portugal), Nice (France) and Kutaisi (Georgia) are brought forward by up to three months and are also on sale from today on.
