Wizz Air, Europe’s most environmentally sustainable* airline and the third largest airline in Italy, is excited to announce a new route between Alghero and Sofia, Bulgaria.
Starting from June 19, passengers will be able to fly between Sardinia's 'Little Barcelona' and the Bulgarian capital on two weekly frequencies, on Thursdays and Sundays. Tickets are already available for purchase on wizzair.com and through the official
WIZZ app, with fares starting at €35,99.
This new route strengthens connections between Italy and Eastern Europe, giving travellers the opportunity to discover Sofia, a city where ancient traditions and modern vitality coexist in perfect harmony. Rich in history, Sofia boasts Roman ruins, Byzantine
churches, and Ottoman influences, while its vibrant cultural scene offers art galleries, theatres, and a exciting nightlife. Nature lovers will also appreciate its thriving parks and the Vitosha Mountains – one of the symbols of Sofia –
perfect for hiking and winter sports. Additionally, Bulgarian cuisine, with its blend of Mediterranean and Eastern European flavours, is another great reason to visit.
At the same time, this new route further enhances the connectivity of Sardinia, an island famous for its crystal-clear waters, golden beaches, and picturesque historic towns. With this direct flight, Bulgarian travellers will have an easier way to explore
Alghero, known as ‘Little Barcelona’, and immerse themselves in this fascinating Mediterranean destination.
The flights will be operated with Airbus A321neo, the most efficient and sustainable aircraft in its class.
“We are excited to inaugurate this new route between Alghero and Sofia, adding to our existing connections to Budapest and Bucharest” said Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air. “This new route strengthens
Sardinia's connections with Eastern Europe with the aim of offering our passengers a direct connection at affordable prices. The airline continues to invest in its growth in Italy, offering more and more affordable travel opportunities. Wizz Air firmly
believes in the value of travel as a unique experience and will continue to work to ensure that all travellers have more opportunities to explore the world.”
“We thank Wizz Air for believing in this new opportunity – said Fabio Gallo, General Manager of Alghero airport – Wizz Air, leader in the low cost segment, is a historic carrier for SOGEAAL (operating in Alghero since 2012) and, with
the introduction of the new route to and from Sofia, confirms itself as a reliable partner for the development of Alghero airport and the whole
of Northern Sardinia. This new route will start from June 19 and will operate until the end of October, completes the Alghero-Sardinia carrier’s network that already includes routes to Romania-Bucharest and Hungary-Budapest”.
