The first Wizz Air flight from Katowice in Poland arrived at Malta International Airport early this afternoon.
Flights to the Polish city will be taking off from Malta International Airport every Monday and Friday until October.
Located in southwestern Poland, Katowice is around an hour’s drive away from Krakow and about 300 kilometres away from major cities including Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest.
The Katowice route is expected to further enhance Malta International Airport’s network with Poland, which already features flights to Gdansk, Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw, and Poznań. Passengers arriving in Malta from Poland have recently been experiencing a steady increase in numbers, in line with Malta’s strategy to enhance connectivity with Eastern Europe.
As is customary, passengers on board the first flight from Katowice were welcomed by dancers in traditional Maltese costumes. A special cake was also prepared to mark the occasion.
In the coming weeks, Wizz Air will start operating more new routes from Malta International Airport, including Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Skopje (Macedonia), and Belgrade (Serbia).
