Historic Winter Season at Bratislava Airport

5 AIRLINES TO OPERATE 49 REGULAR ROUTES

During the winter season, 5 airlines will operate regular flights from Bratislava – Wizz Air, Ryanair, Air Cairo, Pegasus Airlines and Smartwings.

Wizz Air will operate the largest number of regular flights – a total of 25. At the end of the winter flight schedule, in late March 2026, the airline will also add two new routes to Warsaw and Tuzla, increasing the total number of its regular routes to 27. Ryanair will operate regular flights to 20 destinations. Air Cairo will fly from Bratislava to two destinations in Egypt – Hurghada and Marsa Alam – and Pegasus Airlines (Istanbul) and Smartwings (Dubai) will each operate one regular connection. In total, 49 regular air routes will be available from Bratislava during the winter season.

“This is the highest number of regular routes in the history of Bratislava Airport – not only for the winter season. It exceeds this year’s summer offer as well as the previous record from the summer of 2019, when 48 regular routes were available. This winter season has not only matched but even surpassed the summer season in terms of available flights. We have therefore succeeded in our goal to keep the airport active throughout the entire year, including winter,“ said Dušan Novota, CEO of M. R. Štefánik Airport.

TWO AIRLINES SERVING NINE DESTINATIONS

49 regular routes will connect Bratislava to 40 destinations. Nine of these destinations will be operated by two airlines: Athens, Lamezia Terme, Naples, Palermo, Barcelona, Alicante, Malaga, London and Rome. Wizz Air will fly to London Luton and Rome Fiumicino, while Ryanair will operate flights to London Stansted and Rome Ciampino.

DAILY FLIGHTS TO FOUR CITIES

Passengers will be able to fly daily from Bratislava to four destinations: Barcelona, Košice, Rome and London. Wizz Air will operate daily flights to London Luton and Rome Fiumicino, while Ryanair will fly to London Stansted and Rome Ciampino six times per week.

BRATISLAVA CONNECTED TO 21 COUNTRIES VIA REGULAR FLIGHTS, INCLUDING A DOMESTIC ROUTE

During the winter season, Bratislava will have regular direct flights to 21 countries: Egypt, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Malta, Italy, Greece, North Macedonia, Romania, Switzerland, Serbia, Bulgaria, Norway, Cyprus, Moldova, Germany and Albania. In addition, a domestic route to Košice will also be operated. At the turn of March and April 2026, routes to Poland (Warsaw) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Tuzla) will be added.

BETER CONNECTIONS TO EUROPEAN CAPITALS AND THE BALKANS

European capitals will be more accessible from Bratislava thanks to new direct flights, including to Oslo, Athens, Berlin, Chișinău and Bucharest and others. Flights to Germany will resume after an eight-year break, and connections to Switzerland will return after 15 years, specifically to the tri-national Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg Airport located at the borders of Switzerland, Germany and France. Connections with Balkan countries will also increase.

EXOTIC DESTINATIONS AVAILABLE FROM BRATISLAVA VIA TRAVEL AGENCIES

In addition to regular flights, passengers will be able to travel from Bratislava to exotic destinations during winter through charter flights offered by travel agencies. During the 2025/26 winter season, charter flights will operate from M. R. Štefánik Airport to the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman (Salalah and Muscat), Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Zanzibar and Egypt – a total of 9 destinations in 8 countries. Charter arrivals of students from Thessaloniki, Greece, operated by the Slovak airline Air Explore, are also scheduled.
