Wizz Air to Launch Scheduled Flights Between Bratislava and Košice

22. 08. 2025 – The Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic has announced the restoration of scheduled air services between Bratislava and Košice after a six-year hiatus. Following a public tender, Wizz Air has been awarded the operation of the route, with flights commencing in late autumn.

“I am delighted that we have successfully concluded this tender process, thereby fulfilling our commitment to the public,” said Jozef Ráž, Minister of Transport of the Slovak Republic. “The reinstatement of direct air connectivity between Bratislava and Košice will significantly reduce travel time between eastern and western Slovakia, while offering passengers a safe, comfortable, and competitively priced travel option.”

The route will be operated with daily frequencies in both directions. On Mondays and Fridays, passengers will benefit from both morning and afternoon rotations, while on Sundays an evening service will be available.

Fares will start from €19.99 one-way, with a maximum price of €75 (€85 including checked baggage). Return tickets will be capped at €150 (€170 with checked baggage). As with all airfares, pricing will vary depending on the booking window and seat availability.

The Ministry of Transport will communicate the inaugural flight date and schedule in due course.
