Memmingen Airport is starting the winter season on Sunday with 29 destinations. The current winter flight schedule offers two new routes, but also has to accept reductions in the offer. On October 28th, Wizz Air will start its new connection from Memmingen to Catania in Sicily. Four days later, it will fly to Bacău for the first time. The city in northeastern Romania is the sixth destination in the country that can be reached non-stop from Memmingen. There are also many destinations such as London, Porto, Malaga or Tenerife as well as Larnaca in Cyprus. The Russian airline Pobeda is also planning to resume the Memmingen-Moscow connection once a week. Dublin, Tel Aviv, Amman, Faro, Marrakesh as well as Kutaisi, Banja Luka, Lviv and Ohrid are suspended for the time being. After Ryanair announced that it would only operate 40 percent of last year's offer this winter, the quota in Memmingen is much more positive at just under 50 percent. Nevertheless, the newly planned routes to Gyumri in Armenia and to Lappeenranta in Finland will not be included in the route network for the time being. Wizz Air, on the other hand, plans to operate 80 percent of the flights from last winter. The designation of further risk areas and the current pandemic development may nevertheless lead to changes at short notice. "According to the current flight plan, we are expecting around 375.000 passengers this winter," said airport managing director Ralf Schmid. Compared to the previous year with around 550.000 passengers, this is an expected decrease of 32 percent. Although the summer balance shows a decline of 70 percent, Memmingen Airport, according to its managing director, got off "with a big black eye". 41 destinations were served. Memmingen recorded
