Wizz Air moves base to Bratislava as Ryanair trims Vienna and Linz routes

Wizz Air shut its Vienna base and shifted operations to Pressburg/Bratislava, while Ryanair announced cuts to routes from both Linz and Vienna and plans to cancel about a dozen additional Vienna services.

Ryanair also said it will cut staff and criticised Austria’s ticket tax, noting that only a few EU countries apply such a levy, and Austrian Airlines warned that the government’s policy endangers its long‑haul AUA service.
