And now there are zero routes: Wizz Air cancels Salzburg-Varna
The Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air actually wanted to start a non-stop connection between Varna and Salzburg on Sunday. But that didn't happen because the carrier also canceled the last route planned for midsummer from the city of Mozart. Last year, Wizz Air surprisingly announced several routes from Salzburg. After only a few flights, the carrier stopped offering the service due to a lack of demand. Since then, the resumption of individual connections has been postponed at regular intervals. Most recently, only Varna, St. Petersburg and Kyiv-Zhulyany were announced and all other routes planned last year were canceled entirely. First, St. Petersburg was postponed to September 2021, followed just a few days later by Kyiv-Zhulyany. The destination Varna was also bookable for June 13, 2021 until recently. At short notice and without further communication, Wizz Air also canceled the route to the Black Sea. At least no flights to Bulgaria are planned for 2021, but the route can be booked from June 13, 2022 and has thus been postponed by a whole year. CEO Jozsef Varadi recently emphasized in various interviews that Salzburg would play an important role in the Austrian strategy. Given that only a few flights have been carried out so far and the announced resumptions have been repeatedly postponed and have now even been postponed for a very long time, the city of Mozart is unlikely to play a major role in the Wizz Air Group's plans. It therefore remains to be seen whether the carrier will return to Salzburg at all. Postponements and cuts in Vienna too There are initial signs in Vienna
