- Wizz Air is launching three new routes from Bratislava Airport in Slovakia: to Tel Aviv, Israel, and Mykonos, Greece, starting May 28 and June 8 respectively.
- The airline also recently began flights to Podgorica, Montenegro, as part of its summer schedule.
- These new routes are expected to boost tourism and visitor numbers to the Bratislava region, with strong initial bookings for the Tel Aviv flight.
Bratislava Airport is expanding its flight offerings with three new routes operated by Wizz Air, aiming to attract more international visitors. Starting May 28, travelers can fly to Tel Aviv, Israel, three times a week. This route is anticipated to be a significant draw for Israeli tourists, with early bookings indicating high demand.
We expect the direct flight from Tel Aviv to be a strong 'incoming' air route that will bring many visitors from Israel to the Bratislava region. We are already seeing very high occupancy on the first planned rotations.
Following the Tel Aviv launch, the airport will introduce a summer route to the popular Greek island of Mykonos on June 8. Flights to Mykonos will operate until October 23, catering to the expected high demand for Greek island destinations this season.
Additionally, Wizz Air recently commenced operations on a new route to Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. These flights, running three times weekly until late October, offer convenient options for shorter or longer stays in Montenegro.
Since the Greek islands will be among the sought-after destinations of the summer season this year, flying to Mykonos will be possible from Bratislava until the end of the summer season, until October 23, every Friday and Monday.
All new services will utilize Wizz Air's Airbus A321neo aircraft, each with a capacity of 239 passengers. The airport expects these new connections to enhance tourism and economic activity in the Bratislava region.
Three flight rotations per week are ideal for a long weekend or a week-long or longer summer holiday in Montenegro.
