Wizz Air is adding three new routes from Armenia, Moldova and Northern Macedonia to Bari's Karol Wojtyla Airport.
Bari is a strategic crossroads for the Mediterranean area
The new routes from Yerevan (Armenia), Chișinău (Moldova) and Skopje (North Macedonia) underline the importance of Puglia in the airline’s growth strategies, transforming Bari into a strategic crossroads for the Mediterranean area. The route from Yerevan was inaugurated on 26 October and operates twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays. The flights from Chișinău are operated three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and those from Skopje, twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays.
Cancellations were reduced by 68.6%
From January to October 2025 the company operated over 3,800 flights and carried more than 756,000 passengers. Operational excellence is evident in the reliability and punctuality figures: a 99.8% completion rate, an increase in punctuality of +11.9% year-on-year and a drastic reduction in cancellations of -68.6%. "The start-up of the routes from Yerevan, Skopje and Chisinau represents a further step in the path of growth and internationalization of our airport system, says Antonio Maria Vasile, president of Aeroporti di Puglia. -These connections strengthen the role of Puglia as a natural bridge between the Balkan and Caucasian areas and Europe, fostering cultural, tourist and economic exchanges of great value. We thus reaffirm our commitment to boosting connectivity, encouraging the deseasonalization of tourism and supporting local businesses.”
