M. R. Štefánik Airport in Bratislava announced its largest-ever winter flight schedule, featuring 53 regular lines to 43 destinations across 27 countries. The expansion includes six new regular routes, such as first-time services for Slovakia to Baku, Azerbaijan, and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Primary operators for these routes include Wizz Air and Ryanair.

Similarly, Budapest Airport implemented its winter schedule with a 10% increase in available seats compared to the previous year. This growth is driven by increased frequencies on existing routes, particularly to Scandinavia and Poland. New services include Wizz Air routes to Marsa Alam, Egypt, and easyJet connections to several United Kingdom cities, including Belfast, Bristol, Liverpool, and London Southend.
