OREANDA-NEWS. April 02, 2014. Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, today announced a new route from Vilnius from June 2014. The new service will be operated on one of the airline’s new Airbus A320 aircraft from 22 June 2014 and will be a direct connection from Lithuania to Cyprus.

Wizz Air’s route network in Vilnius will now grow to a total of 17 routes to 12 different countries. The airline believes this is good news for the job market in aviation and tourism sectors in both cities as consumers will have access to more low cost routes. Seats on the new Vilnius-Larnaca route are already on sale from just LTL 139** and can be booked on wizzair.com.

Wizz Air’s Daniel de Carvalho said: "Wizz Air’s commitment to Lithuania is today once again underlined by a new and much awaited summer sun route to Cyprus. Larnaca is now accessible on our low fares from Vilnius and we hope that this route will be just as popular as the other 16 in the Lithuanian network. We hope that Vilnius will benefit from the inflow of tourists from Cyprus which could stimulate job creation in tourism and hospitality sectors. On the other hand we are also confident that Lithuanian consumers will appreciate visiting the beautiful seaside resorts of Larnaca all year round and that it becomes popular to book long weekends in this friendly and warm destination. Tickets are already on sale starting from LTL 139 on wizzair.com.”
