Still a non-sensical service. But, as long as the Slovak taxpayer covers the cost, NIKI/AIRBERLIN doesn't have to care. As I said before, if they wanted to serve the whole Slovakia and eliminate any pointless flights BTS-VIE, they should base the plane in Kosice (KSC), East Slovakia, and fly KSC-BTS-BRU-BTS-KSC-VIE in the mornings and VIE-KSC-BTS-BRU-BTS-KSC in the evenings. That way, they would:
- connect the whole Slovakia to BRU
- cover the only sensible domestic route KSC-BTS that is now only served by CSA 3days a week
- create a competition on the service KSC-VIE that is now only covered by overpriced Austrian
- eliminate the pointless flights from BTS to VIE

But, of course, if the purpose of this route is to tap into Slovak governmental subsidies, then just doing BTS-BRU-BTS-VIE "makes sense".

Wer wird eigentlich bei AB fuer die Streckenpolitik bezahlt???
A320 werden von AZ gekauft, A330 die bitter noetig waeren fuer ein Wachstum (nicht nur nach USA oder UAE!!!) werden einfach nicht in die Flotte aufgenommen. Irgendjemand verdient bei dieser Airline Geld fuer's Schlafen!?
