Vienna-Rome: Ryanair and Wizz Air face double price war
The low-cost airlines Ryanair and Wizzair are planning a tough price war between Vienna and Rome. Some time ago, the Hungarian low-cost airline announced that it would be flying to not only Fiumicino airport, but also Ciampino from the Austrian capital. Ryanair is following suit and wants to "double" the route. Rome has two airports: the major airport of Fiumicino, which is a little further from the city center than the smaller Ciampino Airport. The two low-cost airlines want to fly to both of Rome's airports from Vienna in the future. It remains to be seen whether there is any demand for this. In any case, it is an indication that the price war is to continue. This assumes, however, that Ryanair does not withdraw Lauda Europe from Vienna beforehand. A look at the Ryanair summer flight schedule from Vienna, which is mainly operated by Lauda Europe, Buzz and Malta Air, shows that the group has massively thinned out its routes. Many destinations will be added much later than previously announced. Even popular holiday routes such as Ibiza are only scheduled to be reactivated immediately at the start of the summer holidays in Vienna and Lower Austria. In general, it can be summarized that very few routes are to be reactivated in March and April. This will be followed by three waves: at the beginning of May, at the beginning of June and at the beginning of July. The frequencies are - similar to Wizz Air - very low at the beginning. However, many routes have also fallen victim to the Corona pandemic. Either they were never included, for example Turkey routes, Beirut and additional Ukraine destinations, or were no longer reactivated, for example Stuttgart, Agadir and Marrakesh.
