This is a rather curious case. In the spring, Wizz Air announced plans to relaunch its scheduled route from Prague to Palermo, Sicily. However, this did not go unnoticed by Ryanair, which holds a numerical advantage over its Hungarian rival at Prague Airport (RuzynÄ›) across all measurable metrics: it operates direct flights to more destinations, carries more passengers, and even bases three of its Boeing 737 aircraft there.
Ryanair was the first to launch direct flights to Palermo, starting on Wednesday, September 2. It offers four flights a week—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Wizz Air followed suit four days later. Starting Saturday, September 6, it also offers four flights weekly, though primarily on days when it does not face direct competition from Ryanair; it flies on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Unlike the Irish carrier, Wizz Air is already selling tickets for the summer 2027 schedule.
Direct scheduled flights from Prague to Sicily were already in operation prior to this; Smartwings, Ryanair, and Wizz Air all offer connections to Catania.
