Wizz Air Adds New Summer Links From Bulgaria to Spain, Greece and Poland
Wizz Air has added three new summer routes from Bulgaria for the 2026 season, linking Sofia with Santander and Corfu, and Varna with Katowice. Tickets are already available via the airline’s website and mobile app. The carrier says the move supports demand for point-to-point travel between Bulgaria and destinations in Spain, Greece and Poland during the warmer months.
By adding these destinations, Wizz Air continues to expand its Bulgarian network. The airline currently offers 34 direct connections from Sofia and 17 from Varna, linking the country with major airports across Western, Central and Southern Europe. Airport operators note that the new links will improve access to European markets and strengthen airport connectivity during the summer season.
"We are delighted to welcome the new year with such a great news for our Bulgarian passengers. The three new routes are further proof of our commitment to offering a wider choice of exciting travel opportunities at affordable prices, in line with our Customer First Compass transformation plan, which puts customers at first place. With the introduction of the new routes, we now offer flights on 34 routes to 16 countries from Sofia and 17 routes to 9 countries from Varna."
Gabriele Imperiale, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air
New route schedule for summer 2026
- Sofia – Santander: from 31 March, twice weekly (Tue, Sat)
- Sofia – Corfu: from 7 June, twice weekly (Tue, Sun)
- Varna – Katowice: from 7 June, twice weekly (Thu, Sun)
All flights will be operated with Airbus A321neo aircraft. These are already widely used across the airline’s network and have become its standard model for European routes.
The new links open up more non-stop options from Bulgaria during peak season. Santander provides direct access to northern Spain without transfers through Madrid or Barcelona. Corfu adds another practical Greek island link for the summer period, while the Varna–Katowice route creates a simple connection with southern Poland. With two flights a week, both routes suit weekend breaks as well as longer stays, which works well for holidaymakers or anyone planning visits to family and friends.
With travel demand shifting earlier each year, new point-to-point connections like these help reduce dependence on major hubs and simplify planning. Wizz Air’s move also hints at growing interest in regional airports rather than just capital cities. If performance remains strong through the summer season, similar selective expansions from Bulgarian airports are likely to follow, especially on leisure routes where steady two-weekly frequencies continue to work well.
