Götz Ahmelmann, chairman of the boards of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG and Leipzig/Halle and Dresden Airports: “Wizz Air’s commitment to Leipzig/Halle Airport is a great strategic success for our company. The airline is a strong partner for further growth, given that the low-cost sector is growing faster than any other in the aviation industry. Our aim is to consistently expand the range of flights on offer in both Leipzig/Halle and Dresden.”
Wizz Air is the second low-cost airline to launch summer season flights from a Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG airport within just a few weeks. The Austrian airline Laudamotion announced its commitment to Dresden in mid-February. It will be flying an Airbus A320 to Palma de Mallorca daily from 13 June. Overall, it is operating services to about 80 destinations during this summer timetable, 44 of them destinations from Moscow. The airline carried 4.6 million passengers in 2017.
