Warsaw, the “Phoenix City”
Capital of Poland, Warsaw is known as the “Phoenix City” for its rebirth after the devastation of the Second World War. Today it fascinates visitors with a perfect balance between history and modernity: from the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town to the Royal Castle, up to the suggestive Łazienki Park with the famous Palace on the Island. The gastronomic experience is also unmissable, including typical dishes such as pierogi, bigos and the traditional sernik.
Wizz Air: “Lamezia Terme strategic hub for our growth”
«We are extremely satisfied with this new step forward in our expansion in Lamezia Terme», declared Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Corporate Communications Manager of Wizz Air.
«The route to Warsaw joins the connections already announced for Bratislava, Sofia, Katowice and Budapest, confirming our ambitious growth project in Calabria. Italy is our main market and, thanks to an investment of 14 billion euros, we continue to improve the travel experience with affordable fares and high quality standards. Lamezia Terme is a strategic port in which we intend to continue investing. Let’s WIZZ Calabria once again!
SACAL: “A connection that strengthens the strategic role of the airport”
«With the launch of the Lamezia Terme–Warsaw connection, Wizz Air increases the operating routes at our airport to five», commented Marco Franchini, Sole Director of SACAL.
«This new connection consolidates a structured growth path, strengthening the role of Lamezia Terme Airport as a strategic infrastructure integrated into European networks, capable of attracting new tourist flows, supporting the local economy and enhancing the potential of the Calabrian territory».
