Wizz Air celebrates 9 million passengers milestone in Cyprus
Wizz Air has surpassed 9 million passengers, transported to and from Larnaka International Airport since launching operations in Cyprus.
Since launching operations in Cyprus in 2020, Wizz Air has rapidly expanded its network and established itself as a key airline in the market. As part of its continuous growth strategy, the airline recently introduced two new routes from Larnaka International Airport to Cairo and Milan, further enhancing connectivity for travelers.
In celebration of this achievement, Wizz Air rewarded the lucky 9 millionth passenger with a unique travel voucher and surprised travelers on a flight from Budapest to Larnaca with celebratory treats, adding a festive touch to their journey.
Commenting on this achievement, Olivia Harangozo, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, said: “Reaching 9 million passengers at Larnaka International Airport is an incredible milestone for us. This accomplishment reflects the trust and loyalty of our passengers, who continue to choose Wizz Air for their travel needs. We are happy to see more and more passengers from Cyprus choose Wizz Air, and we remain dedicated to offering affordable fares, an extensive network of destinations, and an exceptional travel experience. Our commitment is to continuously adapt to our customers’ evolving expectations while making air travel more accessible than ever.”
Achieving this remarkable milestone of serving 9 million passengers, Wizz Air has cemented its position as a leading airline in Cyprus and market leader in Larnaka. The airline first began operations in Cyprus in 2010 as an inbound carrier and building on its successful partnership with Hermes Airports, launched its Larnaka base in 2020 with two aircrafts. Since then, the airline has tripled its capacity, making Wizz Air the largest carrier in Larnaka with a market share of 18%, and a key player in Cypriot aviation.
Maria Kouroupi, Director of Aviation Development, Marketing, and Communication at Hermes Airports, stated: "Hermes Airports strong partnership with Wizz Air continues to develop, empowering our strategic goal to enhance Cyprus’s air connectivity with year-round flights, promoting sustainable tourism and giving to both local and international passengers a range of valuable travel options. The milestone of 9 million passengers highlights the substance of our long-term successful collaboration with Wizz Air and we are looking forward to expanding our partnership, to further enhance our country’s connectivity, economy, and tourism.
