NEWS FLASH
Wizz Air will discontinue flights between Skopje and Lyon after less than a year of operations, with the final service scheduled for March 28. The route was launched on May 1 last year. The low cost carrier will continue to serve the French market from Skopje through its existing service to Beauvais.
It’s sad to see them go but this was expected. The demand for an A321 is probably simply not there. I wonder what the LFs were. Now they have more capacity to spread it to other routes which are successful.
ReplyDeleteProblem is that even new generations of "pecalbari" likes to haul a lot of stuff with them. With two suitcases Wizz is expensive.
Delete@anon1342, this is exactly why GP is so successful at PRN. In many of the cases that i made a comparison, they were cheaper than Wizz from SKP after the checked baggage is added.
Delete@anon 14:03 You are comparing GP with Wizz? GP will last few more years maybe and that it is.
DeleteI am comparing the price of Wizz with baggage and GP.
DeleteSame for SOF
ReplyDeleteSame as what they did with Nis-Bratislava route. They tossed the coin and launched routes. Couple of months later they cancel them and move on to some new coin toss based decision.
ReplyDeleteTrue but also they are giving a try to a route, you need to try it , othervise you will never know
DeleteThis route could work summer seasonal but year round no, there is no airport in Ex-yu that can handle year round demand for this route....
ReplyDeleteI was hoping it's Budapest. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteBudapest is not even launched yet
DeleteBudapest has more demand than this route
DeleteStill my respect for launching that route.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to see if a route works out is by starting them.
You cannot know something if you dont try it🫡
DeleteWhat happened to Wizz promise to passengers on this cancelled service? Did they mention something like bringing more choices and destinations to passengers, creating new travel opportunities and providing passengers with a comfortable and affordable way to explore beloved destination? I thought Wizz was committed to expanding network from and strengthening connectivity with key destinations across Europe. What happened to: We look forward to welcoming passengers on board and to continuing to deliver a high-quality travel experience in line with Wizz Air’s well-known standards?
ReplyDeleteIf there isnt enough money to be made flying between Lyon and North Macedonia they'll not do it. Not that hard to get right? They are in the money business not just having routes for the hell of it. Considering the size of the country wizzair have a very-wide range of flights of Skopje.
DeleteSKP need CDG at least for summer months , Orly is doing the job but noy enough , as well Beauvais , Lyon is not in demand from any airport in Ex-yu airports not only from SKP
ReplyDeleteCant see any airline starting CDG Skopje flights for a while however. The market is already well served.
Deletethe return of GVA is another factor. Kudos for trying out this route though!
