SkyEurope from Vienna to Brussels?
Moderator: Latest news team
I find it hard to believe they'd fly from Vienna considering their largest and main base is in Bratislava, just 50km away (an hours drive).
I've heard that they're more than happy with their Brussels to Krakow route (good load factors and profitable) and are looking to expand their routes from Brussels. Makes sense as there's only a couple of other low-cost connections from Belgium to Central Europe.

Yes it seems a bit strange alright that SkyEurope are considering operations from Vienna, but then stranger things have happened.
Meanwhile, Wizzair plan to launch a base of operations in Bratislava in 2007, and they will offer Bratislava - Charleroi.
This will not doubt mark an intensification in the war between Sky Europe and Wizz.
