Wizz Air Signs Strategic Distribution Deal with Amadeus to Expand Reach

Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air has signed a strategic distribution agreement with travel technology giant Amadeus to expand its reach into indirect sales and the corporate sector. Under the partnership, Wizz Air flights, service bundles, and ancillary products will be made available for direct booking through the Amadeus Travel Platform for the first time.

The integration will be implemented using Amadeus's Ticketless Access solution, allowing travel agents, online travel agencies (OTAs), and travel management companies (TMCs) to search and book Wizz Air products directly within their standard operating environment alongside traditional airline carriers. This marks a strategic shift for Wizz Air, which has traditionally relied heavily on direct sales channels such as its website and mobile application, aiming to deepen its penetration into the corporate and business travel market.

While the distribution will initially roll out in select markets with official lists yet to be announced, the move is expected to eventually impact travel agents worldwide. Alongside this digital expansion, Wizz Air recently launched Wizz Holidays, an AI-powered platform enabling travelers to customize vacation packages featuring flights, accommodations, and transfers, including complex multi-destination itineraries.

Operating as one of Europe's fastest-growing low-cost carriers, Wizz Air maintains a strong presence across the Mediterranean basin and Israel, operating an average of 10 to 20 daily flights at Ben Gurion International Airport, translating to over 100 weekly flights depending on the season. High-demand routes include popular destinations such as Budapest, Larnaca, Bucharest, Warsaw, Rome, and London, alongside dozens of other regular routes connecting Central and Eastern Europe.
