Wizz Air
Wizz Air is an ultra-low-cost carrier that has, following the folding of Málev Airlines in 2012, become something like Hungary's de facto national airline. Operating a young fleet of all-Airbus aircraft and utilizing a mix of primary, secondary, and regional airports, the carrier has been adding bases and routes at breakneck speed - and is by no means done yet.
