Wizz Air postpones the Salzburg comeback again
The Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air has postponed its Salzburg comeback again, to the 2022 summer flight schedule. Most recently, St. Petersburg was announced for mid-December 2021, but once again nothing will come of it. Wizz Air added the destination Salzburg to its route network at short notice in the summer of last year. A very extensive route network was announced at the time, but it withdrew after just a few flights. The additions to Kyiv-Shuljany and St. Petersburg announced for September 2020 have not yet taken place and are being postponed at regular intervals. The Balkan routes offered last year have been completely removed from the plan. These are not to be reactivated. Varna was actually supposed to be served from June 2021, but a few days before the announced first flight, Wizz Air backed out and postponed the addition by a whole year. Kyiv-Shuljany and St. Petersburg are postponed at regular intervals by a few weeks or months. This time, the Ukrainian capital is scheduled for March 28, 2022 with two weekly rotations. Flights to St. Petersburg are now scheduled to begin on March 27, 2022, four times a week. Varna is scheduled to begin on June 13, 2022 with two weekly rotations. Given the many postponements, it remains to be seen whether the new dates will hold this time. Wizz Air currently has no flights planned for the 2021/22 winter flight schedule to/from Salzburg. The carrier was recently said to be able to serve some ski routes from the United Kingdom. So far, however, Wizz Air UK has said that it has no corresponding plans for Salzburg.
