Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air officially inaugurated its new base at Zvartnots International Airport today.
The opening ceremony was attended by Wizz Air Managing Director Roland Tischner, Armenia’s Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan, Chair of the Tourism Committee Lusine Gevorgyan, Director of “Armenia” International Airports” CJSC Marcelo Wende, General Manager Sergey Avetisyan, and other officials.
