Wizz Air to shut Tuzla base


Wizz Air has announced the closure of its base in Tuzla from mid-September. The carrier will continue to operate four routes from the city. Starting September 12, the airline will no longer have two aircraft stationed at Tuzla Airport and will discontinue eleven routes with services to Basel, Dortmund, Hahn and Memmingen to continue to operate. In a statement, the airline said, “Wizz Air confirms it plans to modify its network and optimise flights in Bosnia and Herzegovina by reallocating its two based aircraft from Tuzla to other bases within its network. This is due to the changing economic environment, as well as operational challenges caused by weather in the region, and to take advantage of growth opportunities by reallocating capacity to other routes with higher demand. Although several routes will be suspended, Wizz Air will continue with flights from Tuzla to Basel Mulhouse, Dortmund, Frankfurt Hahn and Memmingen”. Routes that will be discontinued include Berlin, Billund, Cologne, Eindhoven, Friedrichshafen, Gothenburg, Baden Baden, Malmo, Nuremberg, Stockholm Skavsta and Vienna.

The development comes less than a year after Wizz Air closed its base in Sarajevo and just a month after Ryanair discontinued all operations from Tuzla. In a message to its Tuzla-based employees, Wizz Air said, “Given the operational and supply chain difficulties the aviation sector keeps facing, as well as extreme fog Tuzla is struggling with every winter, leading to compromises in planned aircraft utilisation and more diversions than normal, despite our aim to successfully run and ramp up our operations, after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our Tuzla base on September 12, 2023”. It added, “Wizz Air will continue to operate several inbound routes to Tuzla to serve our Bosnian and international customers. These routes were the strongest performing ones and we are committed to preserving them by flying inbound with a more reliable schedule because we can avoid fog”.

Wizz Air commenced operations from Tuzla in 2013 and opened a base in the city in 2015, becoming the first low cost carrier to do so in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Next month the airline will have a record 416 departing flights out of Tuzla, offering 74.800 seats. Wizz Air accounts for all of Tuzla Airport's scheduled passenger traffic. Affected customers will be notified via e-mail and can opt for either a 120% refund of the original fare in airline credit, a 100% cash refund, or an alternative flight. All Tuzla-based employees will be offered redeployment opportunities at other Wizz Air bases. "Our priority now is to ensure that all affected customers are contacted directly with clear advice on their options, and to look after Tuzla-based colleagues and crew. We are privileged to have a highly professional and dedicated team in Tuzla, and we are making sure that all of them are provided with opportunities in other Wizz Air bases. Wizz Air continues to operate nine routes from Bosnian airports of Sarajevo, Tuzla and Banja Luka”, Roland Tischner, Wizz Air's Managing Director and Operations Officer said.

    Dear WIZZ Team
    Given the operational and supply chain difficulties the aviation sector keeps facing, as well as extreme fog Tuzla is struggling with every winter, leading to compromises in planned aircraft utilization and more diversions than normal, despite our aim to successfully run and ramp up our operations, after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our Tuzla base on 12 September 2023.
    Wizz Air will continue to operate several inbound routes to Tuzla to serve our Bosnian and international customers. These routes were the strongest performing ones and we are committed to preserving them by flying inbound with a more reliable schedule because we can avoid fog.
    We would like to express our gratitude to our Tuzla based crew for their diligent effort and commitment to Wizz Air and will take the time to individually talk to all members of the team about their future relocation preferences.

      Its a epic failure for bosnian aviation to have so few direct flights from Europe. Sad for the diaspora. And also sad for the tourism. Lots of people would probably like to visit but they want direct flight to capital city or to tourist places. This is bad. And how can other Airlines have less problem with fog and weather? Its still a couple flying to Sarajevo..

      Family typically flies to sarajevo from usa via a transfer somewhere in eu. This year, belgrade provided a higher value in terms of cost and time due to increased AS direct flights to USA. Even though beg is about 1 hour farther from our place in BiH, time was saved by not havingto connectsomewhere. Also car rental cost was lower in Beg in 2023 than sarajevo in 2022 for similar vehicle type. Other folks from Bosnia living in Chicago and New York area are probably doing the same thing.

      The problem is, there is a certain critical size you must have for the government-owned flag carrier to be viable. In the region, probably Belgrade and Zagreb are the only two airports with the capacity to do this sustainably. But yes, ULCCs are not a route to happiness. Having stable connecting flights with major carriers (e.g., OS to Vienna, LH to Munich) would be the most stable economically "solution" for an airport like TZL. They're probably too geographically close+price sensitive to BEG for a connecting flight to make sense there.

    Now that Ryanair has withdrawn from the market, Wizz does not have to fear that it will lose Tuzla to Ryanair anymore. So it can cut all the unprofitable routes and decrease its presence there. But clearly the number of such routes was so great that it made no sense having a base there.

Economically well, flighing outside the season whit low ticket prices and low passanger number is probobly not so cost efficient in the long run just to move airplanes in position for other rutes. Wizz Air could if there is a possibility to agree with eith Tuzla airport and other airports just to fly in the high seasons, like June, July and August if they can rescedual the planes that is.. just putting the thoughts out there.. For resedense in Denmark and south Sweden, the Copenhagen - Zagreb/Wienna/Munchen - Sarajevo is a great option or just to Zagreb for people living in northern part of Bosnia.

    Does somebody know if Wizzair got subisidies from the Bosnian government to have a base in Tuzla? Why did Wizzair actually choose for a base in Tuzla and not Sarajevo.(I know they had both but when they chose to stop in SJJ). I think they stopped in SJJ because the demand was a bit too low for 2 wizzair bases in Bosnia. Even though airport taxes are lower in Tuzla, Sarajevo would have been a better choice in my opinion.

    Now Wizzair comes with a really simple excuse about weather conditions. Which is laughable, after 10 years flying to Tuzla. Another thing I am curious about is the pax at Tuzla and the average prices of the tickets.

    I am not Bosnian but from the balkan diaspora. It seems that going by car to the motherland is very common for Bosnians. While Serbians, Macedonians and Albanians usually go by plane. Which could also affect demand.

    Informacija iz uprave aerodroma:

    Kažu optimiziraju letove, ove bazne avione prebacuju u Tiranu i dole ih baziraju, oni su u gubitku ovu godinu startali cca 700 miliona €, ali nama su cijelo vrijeme pričali da će u Tuzli povećati broj baznih aviona, tražili GATE 3 gdje su radovi u toku, osvjetljenje centralne linije za koje smo obezbjedili sredstva i pored svih naših iskoraka odluka njihove kompanije je ova da gase bazu u Tuzli.

    E sad, ovo je prilika da neko drugi pokupi ovaj potencijal putnika iz Tuzle i to će sigurno biti ako Bog da.

    Sve što je Wizz trazio mi smo pokrenuli i radimo… od Centralne linije, GATE III, produžavanja radnog vremena itd. Ocito je nesto drugo i očito je to Wizzova odluka za Bosnu, ali mi ćemo nastojati u što skorije vrijeme dovesti nove aviokompanije.

    Aerodorm Tuzla je potentan i ima svoj putnički kapacitet koji će siguran sam vrlo rado neko drugi preuzeti.

    Jako bitna činjenica da je Aerodorm Tuzla infrastrukturno i kadrovski unaprijeđen i da može prihvatiti i opslužiti bilo koju aviokompaniju.
    Svaka nevolja je nova prilika.

    Wizz is a horrible airline. Perhaps there will be room for Ryannair in Tuzla some time in the future.

    And this is why unless you have a flag carrier, you are at the mercy of other airlines just like this that will pickup and leave out of nowhere, very strange they we’re almost neck and neck with Sarajevo and Wizz was basically the only airline out of Tuzla

    TZL overall performance was poorer and poorer becaus of Wizz expanding in BEG and flights from BNX. TZL has grown up in the past due to luck of LCC in BEG and fast no flights from BNX.

      Situation has been changed that has really affected TZL. Wizz base in BEG and a lot of flights to EU including leisure flights from BNX. It was a question of time when will Wizz close its base at TZL.

    So, the numbers were high on flights from TZL. Why OU or JU don't try to took this market? They are trying to grow or to be competitive. This is a chance.
