After a break of almost five years, the airline Wizz Air today opened a new direct connection between Rome and Sarajevo.
The route will be served three times a week with an Airbus A321neo, which offers 239 seats. The new service is supported by subsidies from the Sarajevo Tourism Authority and is intended to promote exchange between Italy and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Until March 2020, the Bosnian airline FlyBosnia had served this connection before operations were suspended due to the pandemic.
Sarajevo International Airport expressed its delight at the new connection, stressing that the route will make it easier for Sarajevo citizens to visit the Italian capital, while also offering tourists from Rome the opportunity to experience Sarajevo and its culture. The opening of the flight is part of a strategic cooperation between the airport, the Ministry of Economy and the Sarajevo Canton Tourist Board, which aims to promote tourism and the regional economy in a sustainable manner.
Olivia Harangozo of Wizz Air stressed that the new connection is part of the airline's biggest winter season. Wizz Air is relying on modern, more efficient aircraft and wants to use the new routes to increase customer satisfaction and also maintain high sustainability standards.
