Girona–Costa Brava Airport has launched a new direct route to Budapest. This service, operated by Wizz Air, signals the beginning of the 2025 travel season. It is also a key part of the airport’s strategy to strengthen its international connectivity and attract new markets.
Wizz Air is one of Europe’s fastest-growing ultra-low-cost airlines. The company was established in 2003 and operated its first flight in 2004, connecting Katowice (Poland) with London Luton (UK). Since then, Wizz Air has grown rapidly across Europe. The airline currently manages a modern fleet of 207 Airbus aircraft and continues to expand. Recently, it placed an additional order for 75 Airbus A321neo aircraft, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and operational efficiency.
The introduction of the Girona–Budapest route reflects a shared vision between the airport and the airline: to provide affordable and accessible travel to an increasing number of passengers across Europe. With this partnership, both entities aim to boost tourism, improve mobility, and create economic opportunities in the region.
As part of its seasonal expansion plan, Girona–Costa Brava Airport will introduce five new routes in total throughout the year. This expansion positions the airport as a growing hub in Southern Europe and underlines its importance within the broader European air travel network.
Girona is a strategic destination with strong year-round appeal. Known for its rich cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and excellent connectivity, it offers significant value to airlines and travelers alike.
