Wizz Air removes two Belgrade routes over winter
Low cost carrier Wizz Air has removed two routes from its Belgrade network from early October until the start of the 2023 summer season in late March of next year. The airline has suspended ticket sales on services from the Serbian capital to Vaxjo and Sandefjord. The last flights to the two cities for this year are on October 1 and October 2 respectively. Despite initially removing services to Larnaca for the winter as well, the airline has restored ticket sales and increased operations between the two cities to three per week. Further changes remain possible. The carrier will have three 230-seat Airbus A321 aircraft based in Belgrade during the winter.
The budget airline launched services from Belgrade to Sandefjord near Oslo during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in July 2020. At the same time, Air Serbia responded with the introduction of flights to Norway’s capital. Since then, Norwegian Air Shuttle has also restored operations between Oslo and Belgrade. Air Serbia has been successful on the route, which it launched with two weekly frequencies. This July, it ran up to five weekly rotations between the two cities. Wizz Air’s service to Vaxjo in Sweden was launched in December of last year, following several delays. It will continue to maintain operations to Skavsta, Gothenburg and Malmo in Sweden.
Despite the suspension of two routes, Wizz Air will boost frequencies on select destinations from its Belgrade base this coming winter season. In addition to the abovementioned Larnaca, which will run three times pe week from December, the budget carrier has also increased services to Abu Dhabi to four per week from October, as well as to Skavsta and Malta to four per week from December. Overall, at this point, Wizz Air plans to maintain flights to eighteen destinations from Belgrade. Operations to Nice, which were launched in March, will continue to be maintained throughout the winter months. The route was previously served by Air Serbia on a seasonal summer basis but was discontinued during the Covid-19 pandemic and eventually taken over by Wizz.
