The airlines Air Baltic and Vueling are reducing their presence at Vienna-Schwechat Airport in the 2022/23 winter flight schedule. Both carriers are reducing the frequencies and have thus taken up capacity.

Air Baltic flights between the capitals of Latvia and Riga are affected. Originally, a total of 2022 flights were planned for the 23/244 winter period. The carrier's reservation system shows that frequencies have been removed. Between the end of October 2022 and the end of March 2023, 202 rotations are now planned.

The situation is similar with the Spanish low-cost airline Vueling, which serves the destination Barcelona from Vienna. This had originally planned 2022 rotations in the 23/147 winter period. The available flight plan data shows that the IAG subsidiary has meanwhile reduced to 118 rotations.

Traditionally, typical "city routes" with a tourist character are served less frequently in the cold season. However, airlines planned extremely long-term before the corona pandemic, so that adjustments were the exception rather than the rule. Most providers now only plan a few months in advance and often make adjustments to the route network. It is therefore to be expected that there may also be further changes at Air Baltic and Vueling. These will move up or down depending on demand.
