The start of this new connection between Hungary and Israel brings for the first time low fares to a route previously only served by high fare airlines. This new offer will stimulate tourism and business travel between both countries and to celebrate, Israeli celebrity models and fashion designers teamed up with Wizz Air to host today the world’s first MileHigh Fashion Show, with 10 models doing the catwalk above 30,000 feet.

Wizz Air’s unrivalled low fares on this route already proved to be very popular amongst consumers in Israel and Hungary. Shortly after the route announcement in September, one more weekly frequency was added to the winter schedule and in the peak summer season 2013 Wizz Air will operate daily flights. Fares are available from just HUF14,590 and can be booked at wizzair.com.

Consumers in both Israel and Hungary have been subject to high fares on this route for many years and Wizz Air’s successful low cost operations will further stimulate business and tourism traffic between both countries. To accommodate the strong demand for our low fares we will be operating daily flights between Tel Aviv and Budapest during the summer peak period in 2013.
