The airline said it was basing a ninth Airbus A321neo in the city and adding five routes, including Vilnius, Tallinn, Athens, Nice and Poprad-Tatry. (wizzair.com) (aviation24.be) That Gdańsk expansion added more than 500,000 seats across 39 routes to 19 countries, according to Wizz Air. The carrier described the move as a deeper bet on its Polish network. (wizzair.com) (aviation24.be) The new flight also adds another nonstop option inside the Baltic Sea region, where overland travel between the two cities takes much longer than a short-haul flight. Lithuanian Airports said the route is aimed at both leisure and business passengers. (ltou.lt) (travelwiseway.com) Tickets were already on sale through Wizz Air’s booking channels when the route was announced. The carrier’s site now lists direct Gdańsk-Vilnius and Vilnius-Gdańsk booking pages ahead of the May launch. (wizzair.com 1) (wizzair.com 2) For travelers, the change is simple: a route that did not exist in Wizz Air’s schedule now has a start date, a fare floor and four weekly flights. The first departures are set for Friday, May 2. (ltou.lt) (travelwiseway.com)
