The presence of the low-cost airline Wizz Air on the Austrian market in the current 2022 summer timetable period is significantly smaller than originally announced. In Vienna you have the base reduced and the Number of destinations reduced in several steps.

Salzburg has been waiting for the comeback of the Hungarian low coster for almost two years, because for one short guest performance in summer 2020 you move this periodically. In the meantime there are only flights to Kyiv as a kind of "placeholder" in the reservation system, because due to the war it is very unlikely that you can fly to this country at short notice.

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary repeatedly predicted during press conferences held in Vienna that Wizz Air will close its local base in Vienna will. In the last few days there have been concrete rumors that the Hungarian carrier, which recently launched eestablished a subsidiary in Malta, to withdraw gradually. In the 2022/23 winter flight schedule, they only want to fly to Vienna from other bases. This is rejected by Wizz Air as untrue.

A company spokeswoman emphasized in an interview with Aviation.Direct: "Wizz Air is very interested in the Austrian market and the Vienna base and is also sticking to it. Wizz Air expects a strong travel summer after the corona-related break. We are therefore looking for new staff for the Vienna base in Austria.”
