WIZZ travelers looking for a country with green valleys spread with vineyards or old churches and watchtowers perched in a fairytale mountain scenery should choose Georgia. The town of Kutaisi is one of the world's oldest cities, with places like magnificent Bagrati Cathedral or Gelati Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage sites and tourists' favorites. At the same time, Kutaisi is the gateway to Georgia, one of the most beautiful places on Earth with a marvelous canvas for hikers, horse riders, cyclists, skiers, rafters and travelers of all kind.

As part of WIZZ’s greatest expansion phase to date, #WIZZaroundEurope, the airline adds a new destination to its ever-growing network from Romania, bringing truly affordable air travel services to the Romanian passengers and its visitors offering in total more than 140 routes to 22 countries from 10 airports. Continuing its investment and further diversifying the Romanian network, in 2018 a total of 19 new routes commence from across the country bringing new travel opportunities from Sibiu, Iasi, Cluj and Bucharest.

WIZZ, as the pioneer of lowest-fare air travel in Romania and across Europe, is looking to respond to the increasing demand for its low fare tickets and great travel experience, while further contributing to the growth of the local economies, aviation, tourism and hospitality industries as well as strengthen business ties between the countries.
