Bratislava Airport: Wizz Air to Operate Direct Air Route to Nice, France

Bratislava, 24 January (TASR) - Continuing its expansion at M.R. Stefanik Airport in Bratislava, low-cost airline Wizz Air will add another direct route from the Slovak capital in two months, this time to the famous resort of Nice, France, according to Bratislava Airport spokesperson Veronika Demovicova. Starting on 31 March of this year, direct flights to the French Riviera will be available three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. "This will bring more travel opportunities for passengers in Slovakia, expand the range of holiday and short city breaks, while at the same time ensuring a stable flow of passengers in both directions," according to Wizz Air's corporate communications manager Vera Jarda. France will thus become another country that can be accessed from Bratislava directly by air. In Bratislava, Wizz Air has grown to offering a total of 31 regular flight connections at the current time. "In March, Wizz Air will launch as many as ten completely new routes from Bratislava to destinations including Berlin, Dortmund, Tirana, Ohrid, Pristina, Tel Aviv, Tuzla, Rome (Fiumicino airport), Warsaw (Chopin airport) and Nice," specified Demovicova. As of June, the carrier will also operate a new direct route to the Greek island of Mykonos. A week ago it launched new flights to Kutaisi (Georgia), Yerevan (Armenia), Larnaca (Cyprus) and Chisinau (Moldova). Currently, Wizz Air offers a total of 35 routes from Slovakia (including other airports) to 34 destinations in 22 countries. In 2025, it operated more than 2,000 flights to and from Slovakia, carrying nearly half a million passengers, with a flight completion rate of 99.78 percent, which is among the highest in the aviation industry. jrg/df/mf
