History

The Bulgarian company was awarded licenses to begin services to Greece, Turkey and Moldova in 2006.

In 2011, Wizz Air Bulgaria merged with its parent for operational reasons. All flights are now operated by Wizz Air Hungary. Wizz Air Bulgaria operated flights from Sofia to Barcelona, Valencia, Milan, Brussels and increased the number of flights to London/Luton, Rome/Fiumicino/Ciampino and Dortmund by commissioning a third Airbus A320 to serve the new routes.
