Wizz Air touches down in Sarajevo with new service

NEWS FLASH

Low cost carrier Wizz Air inaugurated its new service between Rome Fiumicino and Sarajevo this morning, marking the resumption of flights between the two capitals after almost five years. Wizz Air will maintain the route three times per week with its 239-seat Airbus A321neo aircraft. The service is being subsidised by the local Sarajevo tourism authority. It was last served by FlyBosnia prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.

Commenting on the new route launch, Sarajevo Airport said, “We welcomed the first Wizz Air flight from Rome with great pleasure. This route opens the doors to many opportunities, allowing our citizens to visit the enchanting Italian capital throughout the year. At the same time, tourists from Rome will have the chance to explore the beauty of Sarajevo and our rich cultural heritage. Establishing yet another route from the list of strategic destinations confirms the successful collaboration between Sarajevo International Airport, the Ministry of Economy of the Sarajevo Canton, and the Sarajevo Canton Tourist Board. This partnership continues to deliver results aimed at tourism growth in Bosnia and Herzegovina and contributes to strengthening the economy of our region”.

Wizz Air’s Corporate Communications Manager, Olivia Harangozo, noted, “We are excited to enter our largest winter season to date, offering dozens of new routes for our passengers, including the completely new service from Sarajevo to Rome. Equipped with our ever-growing fleet of the most modern aircraft, we continue to invest in enhancing our operational efficiency and customer experience, while maintaining the highest sustainability standards in the industry”.
