Wizz Air upgrades EX-YU winter flights
Low cost carrier Wizz Air has upgraded several seasonal summer routes from its bases in Belgrade, Skopje and Tuzla to year-round operations for the upcoming 2019/2020 winter season, which begins on October 27. The airline will extend its flights between Belgrade and Larnaca into the winter, with a total of two weekly flights to be maintained, each Tuesday and Saturday. The route was initially introduced on a year-round basis in 2014 but was downgraded last winter. This led Air Serbia to upgrade its own flights to the Cypriot city to year-round operations. The two will now compete directly on the route, with the Serbian carrier to run flights between the two cities once per week, each Friday, increasing to three weekly during the holiday period, from mid-December to mid-January.
The budget carrier will upgrade all of its seasonal flights from Skopje and Ohrid to year-round operations. Last year, the airline turned its services from Skopje to Barcelona and Vaxjo, as well as from Ohrid to London Luton, to seasonal summer flights. However, this coming winter, Wizz will maintain operations on all three routes twice per week. "As is normal practice in the aviation industry, flight frequencies change according to travel seasons and route performance. Wizz Air constantly monitors the performance of the routes to allow for the most popular services to have the lowest possible fares", the company said.
Wizz Air will also resume winter flights between Tuzla and Billund from late October. A total of two weekly flights will be operated between the two cities, each Monday and Friday. Flights to Billund were initially introduced on a year-round basis in the winter of 2016, however, the route was downgraded to seasonal summer operations last year. On the other hand, flights from Tuzla to Baden Baden, Stockholm Skavsta and Vaxjo, which were also downgraded to seasonal services last year, have so far not been scheduled for the 2019/2020 winter season. The downgrade had a notable impact on the airport's passenger numbers throughout the 2018/2019 winter season.
