Bratislava Airport will introduce six new flight routes and welcome a new airline as part of its summer schedule, effective from 30 March, coinciding with the time change.
Direct flights from Bratislava to Bari and Milan-Malpensa will begin on Sunday, followed by a new route to Gdansk, launching on 1 April. Dušan Novota, CEO of M. R. Štefánik Airport, highlighted that after seven years, the airport will again connect directly to Poland with the Gdansk route.
