including seasonal destinations in Italy (Olbia, Catania) and Spain (Palma de Mallorca).
The company intends to launch a local line from Bologna,
and shall seasonally also fly from Basel to Venice and Balaton. In addition, direct flights between Bologna and Poprad/Tatry shall be reintroduced this summer as well.
