More destinations will follow on Saturday. In total, the low-cost airline wants to fly to 20 destinations in May. And that’s despite landing bans and travel warnings.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air wants to resume flights from Vienna. The initial shot will take place over four days on Friday. On May 1, seven destinations will be served: Dortmund, Thessaloniki, Rome, Milan, Lisbon, Oslo, Eindhoven. On Saturday, six other destinations will be added: Athens, Cologne, Reykjavik, Tenerife, Tel Aviv and Varna.
Three other destinations, Larnaka, Valencia and Warsaw, have been on the program since Sunday, May 3. The remaining four of the 20 destinations Wizz Air plans to launch are slated to arrive later this month: Kiev and Kharkiv from May 12, Ohrid from May 18, and Kutaisi from May 23. This arises from documents that the airline’s public relations agency submitted to APA upon request.
Initially, the 20 cities should only be served two to three times a week, as the airline said last week.
Wizz Air had discontinued flight operations in Vienna, as well as its competitors AUA and Laudamotion. Hungarians are now the first airline to return. However, some of the 20 destinations are in countries where there is currently no country permit in Austria for medical reasons. This means that the plane should not land in Austria when you return from Spain, for example.
The corresponding ordinance on landing bans for aircraft from corona risk areas will be extended beyond April 30, according to the Foreign Ministry. For countries like Italy or Spain there is also an explicit travel warning due to the crown pandemic. Security level 4 applies to the rest of the world, a high security risk.
