Hungarian low-cost air carrier Wizz Air said it will invest 98 million euro ($109.1 million) to add a second Airbus A320 aircraft to its base in Bosnia's Tuzla and introduce five new routes.

Wizz Air will fly from Tuzla to Cologne, Friedrichshafen and Nuremberg in Germany, Bratislava in Slovakia and Vaxjo in Sweden from March next year, it said in a statement on Wednesday.

The new aircraft will also allow the airliner to increase the number of weekly flights on the existing routes from Tuzla to Eindhoven, Gothenburg, Malmo and Frankfurt-Hahn.

Wizz Air is set to launch flights to London Luton on October 30.

The first Wizz Air flight took from Tuzla in May 2013. The company has since grown to become the largest airline in Bosnia and Herzegovina by constantly expanding its low-fare route network.

In 2015, Wizz Air carried more than 250,000 passengers on its Bosnia and Herzegovina routes.

With the new services, Wizz Air now offers a total of 16 routes to 7 countries from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
