Wizz Air temporarily suspends over a dozen EX-YU routes
Low cost carrier Wizz Air has temporarily suspended a number of its flights from cities in the former Yugoslavia due to low demand, as well as evolving travel restrictions and measures to stem the flow of the coronavirus outbreak across the continent.
From its base in Skopje, services to Malta have been suspended until August 4, to Milan until August 5, to Salzburg and Hanover until August 17, to Larnaca and Bremen until August 19 and to Bratislava and Barcelona until August 20. Operations to Budapest will be halted at the end of this week until August 19. Some flights from Ohrid have also been impacted with Malmo cancelled until August 3 and Milan until August 19. From Belgrade, the airline has temporarily suspended operation to Larnaca until August 2, as well as to Salzburg and Malta until August 3. As previously reported, the carrier has delayed its Belgrade expansion until mid-August.
From Tuzla, the budget carrier has been forced to temporarily cancel its flights to Vienna until September 15 and Salzburg until September 17. The Sarajevo - Budapest route will be halted at the end of the week and is currently expected to resume on August 17. The suspensions come despite Bosnia and Herzegovina reopening its borders for citizens from the European Union, albeit with a negative coronavirus test. Meanwhile, the only route that has currently been affected out of Pristina is Budapest, which will be suspended until August 17. The carrier’s new route to Milan is still scheduled to launch this Saturday. Operations from Podgorica have also been affected, with services to Budapest to be suspended at the end of the week and resume on August 19.
Flights from Pristina, Ohrid, Niš and Podgorica to Vienna are all expected to be cancelled until at least early August, following Austria’s ban on air traffic from a number of countries. At this point, the carrier is still selling tickets on the aforementioned routes. Wizz Air services to Ljubljana and Split remain unaffected. Changes to the schedule, as well as the resumption dates for the abovementioned routes, are likely to change.
