Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air continues to expand its activities in Slovakia. In the summer, it announced the creation of a base with two Airbus A320 family aircraft at Bratislava airport and at the same time won the tender for the operation of the domestic route Bratislava - Košice. Now, Poprad Airport has also been added, to which Wizz Air has previously only flown from London.
A new route from Gdańsk to Poprad will begin operations on December 25, 2025. The Wizz planes will operate twice a week (every Thursday and Sunday). Tickets are on sale only for the 2025/2026 winter flight schedule. From Gdańsk, the company will also open new routes to Athens, Tallinn, Nice and Vilnius. A total of five new destinations will be added to the existing thirty-nine to which Wizz Air already flies from Gdańsk. Specifically, these are Tirana, Burgas, Split, Billund, Copenhagen, Turku, Paris (Beauvais), Keflavik, Milan (Malpensa), Rome (both airports), Verona, Larnaca, Budapest, Dortmund, Hamburg, Eindhoven, Ålesund, Bergen, Haugesund, Oslo (both airports), Stavanger, Tromsø, Trondheim, Madeira, Heraklion, Bucharest, Alicante, Barcelona (El Prat), Madrid, Málaga, Tenerife – South, Aberdeen, Leeds, Liverpool, London (Luton), Gothenburg and Stockholm (Arlanda).
Wizz Air seems to like Slovakia. One of the factors is the complete absence of airline tickets tax, which amounts to approximately 300 CZK per passenger in neighboring Austria. Slovakia has also reduced the air traffic control fees by 50%. The Hungarian carrier will bring fourteen new routes to Bratislava, to Athens, Nis, Plovdiv, Varna, Bucharest, Košice, Alicante, Barcelona (El Prat), Malaga, Lamezia Terme, Naples, Palermo, Oslo (Gardermoen) and EuroAirport. The existing connections to London (Luton) and Skopje will be kept in operation.
