Wizz Air finalises EX-YU winter network
Wizz Air will be making notable changes to its network in the former Yugoslavia this coming winter season with five year-round routes being suspended, five seasonal routes extended and one new route launched.
The only new city pair to be introduced within Wizz Air’s network in the former Yugoslavia this winter will be between Vienna and Pristina. Although flights were initially to commence on November 8, they have now been pushed back until December 18. The service will be maintained four times per week and has been scheduled to run throughout the summer of 2020 as well. The budget carrier has also upgraded all its seasonal flights from Skopje and Ohrid to a year-round basis. Last year, the airline downgraded its operations 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 services on all three routes twice per week. Similarly, flights between Tuzla and Billund, as well as Belgrade and Larnaca, have been extended into the winter months.
Wizz Air will exit the Slovenian market on a temporary basis this winter following seven years of continuous operations by suspending its flights from Charleroi and Luton. The carrier has confirmed it will resume services between the Belgian city and Ljubljana starting April 2, 2020, with tickets recently going on sale. The airline is yet to confirm whether it will resume flights from London to the Slovenian capital. The no frills carrier has also reversed its decision to maintain its newly launched operations between Belgrade and Lyon throughout the year. Although it initially scheduled flights to run through the winter, ticket sales have now been suspended past October 26. The route was launched this June and is being maintained twice per week.
Wizz Air will also discontinue flights between Tuzla and Vienna at the start of the 2019/2020 winter season. Services between the two cities were introduced last year. "Wizz Air did not include Vienna in its winter schedule, however, during our talks with the company, we found out that the service will resume in the summer of 2020. Loads on this route have somewhat decreased", the General Manager of Tuzla Airport, Rifet Karasalihović, said. On the other hand, flights between Basel and Osijek, which were discontinued this summer, will not resume over the winter either.
