NEWS FLASH
Low cost carrier Wizz Air is continuing to expand its network with the addition of new flights from Belgrade and Dubrovnik.
The airline will add a new service between Belgrade and Pisa. Flights will launch on June 9 and operate twice per week. With the latest addition, Belgrade will be linked to eight airports in Italy next summer. Furthermore, the carrier will commence operations from the Serbian capital to Chania in Greece, competing directly against Air Serbia. The service will launch June 8 and run three times per week.
Wizz Air is also launching flights between Gdansk and Dubrovnik, in a direct response to the recently announced new Ryanair service on the same route. Wizz Air will commence operations between the two cities on June 7, twice per week.
Excellent news!
ReplyDeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeletebravo OU!
ReplyDeleteWow amazing for Pisa, not expected. It is good for those who are going to Tuscani, or Bologna even Rome.
ReplyDeleteMuch better option for Tuscany than JU which charges 10.000 RSD one-way to FLR. Let's see if they decrease prices.
Delete10.000 rsd is 85€. Totally fair price for one-way. Where is Europe can you find legacy for 85€?
DeleteWho cares about legacy or LCC on a 1.5h hour flight with mostly p2p traffic?
DeleteLiterally everywhere in Europe you can find one-way flights for less than 85 euros. Even Lufthansa. Not to mention Iberia or British Airways which are much cheaper on many routes.
DeleteLufthansa for 85 euros? Never.
DeleteWhere is PMO?
ReplyDeleteIn Italy.
DeleteSicily
DeleteWizzair currently operates flights from Belgrade to Milan and Rome, with Pisa announced today. What about the other six Italian cities?
ReplyDeleteIt is referring to Air Serbia's destinations: Rome Fiumicino, Bologna, Bari, Trieste, Venice...
DeleteOK, I was just thinking about Wizzair, but do you know of any news of a possible opening of Wizzair from Belgrade or some other city in the Balkans to Palermo?
DeleteJU does not fly to Trieste. It does to Rome, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Venice, Bari, Naples, Palermo, Catania and Alghero.
DeleteAmazing list
DeleteAlmost like OU. With one-stop to FCO 🤣🤣🤣
DeleteI really don't see the point of serving Pisa, with JU already dominating the region with Florence and Bologna. Genoa would be much smarter pick for W6, with beautiful coast nearby
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say JU dominates the region, the tourism is huge there and there's room for Wizz. It's worth the fight. Genoa and Torino should be next.
DeletePisa is Wizz’s response to JU for Bologna and Florence.
DeleteBologna is way too expensive airport for Wizz.
Florence cannot handle A321neo, so Wizz cannot fly there.
Too expensive yet they fly there from 12 destinations
DeleteBologna too expensive for Wizz?? LMAO just look at all the Ryanair and Wizzair destinations from there. BLQ is served already from BEG thatswhy Pisa
DeleteHow exactly is JU dominant in the region? If you add up all the destinations they serve over there you barely get to daily flights ... operated by the ATR. Dominant would be at least daily to all destinations on the E90/95 or 10-14 weekly on the ATR.
DeleteWizz Air saw how well JU performs in the region so they are attacking them there. Similar to what they did in Madrid... among other places.
It's very dominant with 10 destinations in Italy and two in a Tuscany/Emilia Romagna. W6 is very shortsighted to attack dominant opponent barehanded. It is well known that JU may live with a ticket price competitive to LCCs, but here it also have a 70 seater plane with break even around 50-60% LF. With this assets, W6 with 2 pw have almost no room to move around. But with Genoa flights, it could catch same Pisa area, but also bigger and wealthier coast on the west, towards France.
DeleteBelgrade - Alicante is also increasing to 4 weekly flights next summer
ReplyDeleteSeems they are planning extra capacity next season. I think BEG-BTS daily is a no brainer for W6. They will fly to Bratislava from Nis, Pristina, Tuzla and just forgetting Belgrade.
DeleteIf Austrian keeps bigger birds, they'll have to slash the prices to Vienna, we'll see what happens. JU plans increase next season, maybe to prevent BTS...
DeleteSeems that W6 got more proactive and competitive in BEG than it was a one-two years ago.
DeleteI guess it's too late now. It's still questionable when exactly the railway line to Budapest will open (allegedly in February) but at one point next year there will be 8 daily train connections between Belgrade and Vienna, two of them directly.
DeleteThe P2P flight market will move in big parts to trains, with 6hrs of travel time, predictable (scheduled) border crossing times and expected 50€ fares with unlimited luggage.
6 hour train rides do not affect air travel.
DeleteMost of Wizz Air destinations from BEG are EXTREMELY boring and predictable.
ReplyDeleteYes because they can only fly to EU destinations.
DeleteNot only, but mostly.
DeleteThey can fly to Rovaniemi, they could have opened Canary Islands, they could open KEF, they could start MAN...
Wizz Air doesn't fly a single route from MAN and you want them to start Belgrade? Funny.
DeleteSame for Rovaniemi lol
DeleteSo what, easyJet, Vueling, Ryanair, Eurowings ...all these LCC's fly to Rovaniemi and W6 has a base in BEG.
DeleteOnce they should start, why BEG not to be the first one?
Because there are a lot more lucrative markets they can start Rovaniemi from.
DeleteThey tried to steal the spotlight from Air Serbia today :D
ReplyDeleteLast new routes for S26?
ReplyDeleteW6 is getting quite aggressive on the JU playground....
ReplyDeleteThe base in TGD will probably streal a number of connections through Belgrade.
Reinforcing Spain plus now opening Pisa which is a competition for the FLR route next summer and competing on Crête also.
It might initially be very beneficial for the serbian tourists but the price war would be detrimental to JU balance sheet.
TGD base will primarily affect TIA as many from MNE were going there to catch a flight.
DeleteAlso, by that logic, shouldn't this affect OS' TGD flights as well?
Wizz should open Lamezia Terme of JU doesnt do it. Nice airport in southern Italy. Calabria region is nice. They already fly there from TIA
ReplyDeleteThe don't
DeleteThey*
