Wizz Air adds three new EX-YU routes for total of over 25
Low cost carrier Wizz Air has announced the introduction of three new routes, bringing its total count of new destinations to the former Yugoslavia to over 25 this summer. The airline will introduce seasonal operations from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport to Dubrovnik and Split from July 1 and 2, respectively, as well as year-round operations from the Italian capital to Pristina, starting July 18. The carrier’s three weekly flights to Dubrovnik and Split will compete directly against Croatia Airlines and Vueling Airlines. On the other hand, it faces no direct competition from scheduled airlines on its two weekly Pristina service. Rome marks Wizz Air’s seventh new route to Split and first new service to Pristina and Dubrovnik for the summer.
Overall, Wizz Air is introducing nine new routes from Sarajevo, where it will open a base, seven from Split, five from Banja Luka and Belgrade and one each from Dubrovnik and Pristina. “Our network expansion and the investments we have made in our fleet over the past twelve months ensures we are well placed for a return to normal operations and we are convinced we are now even better positioned to be a structural winner in the European aviation sector”, Wizz Air’s CEO, Jozsef Varadi, said. He added, “We still intend on being aggressive in targeting market share where opportunities arise and plan to stick with all of our bases”.
Wizz Air forecasts travel demand to pick up across Europe following “a period of good progress of national vaccination plans”. Mr Varadi remains confident the airline will emerge as a long-term winner from the pandemic as others retreat. “Our agility and relentless focus on costs and cash are significant competitive advantages”, he said. However, he noted that while he’s confident there will ultimately be a rebound given pent-up demand, “whether this will happen over the summer or the winter or next spring, we don’t know”.
