Wizz Air Expands Flight Network with New Sarajevo Route
On August 23, 2023, Wizz Air, the well-known low-cost airline, revealed exciting news regarding its expanding flight network from Bratislava. The airline is set to introduce a new route connecting the Slovak capital to Sarajevo, the picturesque capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The inaugural flight is slated for December 3, 2023, marking the beginning of a connection that travelers can look forward to exploring. This new service will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays in accordance with the 2026/2027 winter flight schedule, and will increase to three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays during the 2027 summer season. Tickets for this eagerly anticipated route are already available for purchase on the Wizz Air website and through its mobile application.
Sarajevo is renowned for its rich cultural tapestry, blending influences from the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungarian heritage, and contemporary urban life. Visitors to this vibrant city can immerse themselves in the historic Bascarsija district, take a leisurely walk along the scenic Miljacka River, and indulge in traditional Bosnian cuisine featuring dishes such as cevapi—a grilled minced meat delicacy—and burek, a delightful savory pastry, complemented by authentic Bosnian coffee. The city not only boasts a lively atmosphere but also offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and easy access to the serene countryside, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a unique travel experience that diverges from the typical big-city getaway.
Wizz Air currently operates an impressive 29 international routes across 20 different countries from its base at Bratislava Airport, where it maintains a fleet of four aircraft. Additionally, the airline offers a domestic connection to Kosice. Earlier in July, Wizz Air announced the launch of three new routes set to commence with the winter timetable, including flights to Baku (Azerbaijan), Hurghada (Egypt), and Agadir (Morocco), all scheduled to start between October 25 and 27, 2023. This expansion underscores Wizz Air's commitment to providing diverse travel options for its customers, further enhancing the connectivity of Bratislava as an emerging travel hub.
