In October, Wizz Air cancelled its Brno-Eindhoven route. Well now they are leaving Brno completely. In January they will end the Brno-London Luton route.In June 2018 they will close the Prague base and only offer flights from Prague to London Luton, Bari, Italy, and Kutaisi, Georgia.
Wizz Air will still fly from Bratislava with flights to Skopje, Kyiv, Warsaw, Sofia, Tuzla, and London Luton.
With Air Berlin gone, Wizz Air is establishing a base, in 2018, in Vienna with 17 new routes. From April they will have flights to Gdańsk, Tuzla, and Varna. In June, they will have flights to Bari, Malta, Rome, Valencia, and Tel Aviv. From November there will be routes to Billund, Bergen, Dortmund, Kutaisi, Larnaca, Nis, Ohrid, Tenerife, and Thessaloniki. These are some great destinations and several of them are still on my bucket list.
The good news is that we're getting a new airline in Brno. The Romanian airline Blue Air is establishing a base here. The Blue Air Moravian Transport will be 35% owned by the the city and 65% owned by Blue Air.
I'm surprised that being a Romanian airline, and given the number of Romanians here in Brno, that there's no flight to Romania. Perhaps it will come in the future. I've never flown with Blue Air before but I'll have to give them a try. So nice that there will be more discount airline flights direct from Brno. Plus lots of new Wizz Air destinations out of Vienna. Looks like there will be more travel opportunities in 2018.
Update: What a complete disappointment!! Flights were supposed to launch at the end of March but service was delayed due to legal processes. Now the South Moravian governor announced the end of cooperation with Blue Air so it looks like I'll have to keep flying from Vienna, Bratislava, or Prague. Too bad because it would be so convenient to be able to fly in and out of Brno.
