Memmingen Airport is further expanding its range of destinations in Eastern Europe. Starting at the end of October 2025, the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air will operate twice-weekly flights to the Armenian capital Yerevan. The new non-stop service, operated by an Airbus A321neo, will operate every Tuesday and Saturday, with a flight time of approximately four hours and 15 minutes.
Yerevan, with approximately one million inhabitants, the political and economic center of Armenia, is considered one of the oldest cities in the world. Airport Sales Manager Marcel Schütz expressed his delight at the new connection and emphasized Memmingen's role as an important low-cost airport for Eastern Europe. The current summer flight schedule already offers flights from Memmingen to 26 destinations in Eastern Europe.
The new route to Yerevan is not only aimed at commuters, family visitors, and business people, but is also intended to appeal to tourists. Although Armenia is still considered an insider tip, Yerevan offers a variety of sights and museums. Tour operators have been offering skiing and trekking trips to the country in the South Caucasus for years. The new direct connection makes the destination more accessible for travelers from southern Germany.
