Low cost snub

Wizz Air cancels Zagreb flights, Germanwings dumps Sarajevo

The low cost airline Wizz Air will cancel its Dortmund – Zagreb service only 2 months after its launch. The airline commenced flights from the German city to the Croatian capital in late March but will be discontinuing the service on May 29. Initially, the route was served 3 times per week and shortly after was reduced to 2 weekly flights. Low interest is blamed for the cancellation. Nevertheless, Wizz Air will keep its presence in Zagreb with flights from London Luton Airport.

Meanwhile, across the boarder, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germanwings has announced that it will cancel all services to Sarajevo. The airline operates flights from Stuttgart and Cologne to the Bosnian capital twice per week. The services will end on October 30. On the other hand, there is some good news. Norwegian Air Shuttle will resume its seasonal flights from Oslo to Sarajevo on June 30. The flights will operate from Oslo’s second airport, Rygge. Flight details can be found in the new route launches section on the right hand side.
