Wizz Air discontinued sales of Budapest-Sarajevo and Tuzla-Salzburg flights. Budapest-Sarajevo flights were introduced back in April of 2017, with subsidies provided by the Hungarian government. At the time services to five West Balkan capital cities were established under the National Ministry of Development’s new public service obligation operation to serve these important economic links in the region. The flights from Budapest to Skopje in Macedonia, Podgorica in Montenegro, Tirana in Albania, Pristina in Kosovo and Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina were introduced. Wizz Air is still selling tickets for Budapest-Sarajevo flights for the month of March. The airline plans to operate 10 round trip flights between Budapest and Sarajevo in March, while sales for Tuzla-Salzburg flights are discontinued.
Tuzla-Salzburg flights were opened for reservations on May
29. 2020, for two weekly flights beginning July 02. 2020. The flights were
introduced on July 02 2020, but only one round-trip flight was operated due to
a temporary flight ban imposed by Austrian government to control the spread of the corona virus. Wizz Air postponed Salzburg flights relaunch couple of times but
due to the pandemic and border closures, the interest for the flights was low. Besides Tuzla, Wizz Air has launched five more destinations from Salzburg but out of six destinations launched last year, only one has survived, Salzburg – Kyiv.
Following routes were launched in July of 2020 (and all
cancelled but one): Salzburg – Belgrade, Salzburg – Kyiv, Salzburg – Skopje, Salzburg – Bucharest, Salzburg – Tuzla, Salzburg – Larnaca
