Wizz Air plans to invest $400 million to expand air links with Ukraine and European tourism to Ukraine, Stephen Jones, the discount airline’s executive vice president told reporters in Kyiv on Thursday. Next year, Wizz Air plans to increase its seats in and out of Ukraine by 45%, to 2.5 million, to increase flights to 120 a week, to increase its Airbus fleet based at Kyiv Sikorsky to four, and to increase employees in Ukraine to 140. Through May, the Budapest-based airline transported 425,000 passengers on its Ukraine routes this year, almost double the number carried during the first five months of 2017.
