Wizz Air pares back routes from Prague

The budget carrier Wizz Air is to reduce significantly the number of routes it offers from Prague, the news website idnes.cz reported. As well as its usual seasonal routes, the airline will cut five routes which it previously operated during the winter months. A Wizz Air representative said the cuts were being made because of high charges and large seasonal swings in the number of people flying from Prague Airport. The announcement follows the news that Europe’s biggest budget airline Ryanair will discontinue all its flights to and from the Czech capital later this year.
