Niki fliegt ab Bratislava
BRATISLAVA - Im Vorfeld der Übernahme des EU-Ratvorsitzes 2016 erhält die slowakische Hauptstadt eine Direktanbindung an Brüssel. Niki wird dazu ab April 2015 am Flughafen BTS eine Maschine stationieren.
Wie Niki-Chef Christian Lesjak am Donnerstag in Bratislava bekanntgab, werden die neuen Flüge wochentags im doppelten Tagesrand bedient, sowie am Sonntag einmal. Darüber hinaus erhält Bratislava auch dreimal wöchentlich Anschluß an das Palma-Drehkreuz der Air Berlin Gruppe.
Die Brüsselflüge werden an Werktagen auch nach Wien verlängert. Der kurze Spangenflug (rund 55 Kilometer Luftlinie) soll den slowakischen Fluggästen zeitnahen Anschluß an das Griechenlanddrehkreuz der österreichischen Air Berlin-Tochter sowie nach Abu Dhabi bieten.
Mit Aufnahme der neuen Brüsselflüge wird Niki seine Flüge nach Frankfurt und Moskau einstellen. Auf beiden Strecken bestehen derzeit Überkapazitäten, die auf den Ertrag drücken.

Dear Herr Lesny,
KSC is definitly not within the scope of Niki. BRU is, for quite sometime. To choose BTS as a gateway instead of VIE targets an interesting niche, outside the highly competitive VIE-BRU market. It's not a gamble, Niki knows how many Slovaks travel daily to Brussels and as a logical step, collects them where they are at home. Thats the market they envisage-
The BTS-VIE link is off course a technical link, with some advantage for slovak travellers, that use Niki for their holidays in Greece- However I would strongly anticipate, that in medium terms, Niki also eyes a midday service from BTS, eventually to CDG, which would make this transfer flights obsolete.

Not dozens but eight, with a significant number of Slovakian passengers on board. And it is fair to assume, that particuliary in the morning and evening they would prefer to fly from home, when there are flights available
The Slovak passangers are in big part from the eastern half of Slovakia (connecting from Kosice in VIE), for whom flying from BTS is no help.
So, as with all the other airlines at BTS, NIKI cambe because of the "good conditions to use BTS" that are subsidised by the rest of Slovakia for whom most of whom BTS is useless.
KSC is 66% owned by FWAG, 34% by the Slovak government, but 100% ignored by the Bratislava-centric Slovak government even though it serves the half of Slovakia that has no alternative like the west Slovakia has in VIE.
For example, if the NIKI flights were KSC-BTS-BRU-BTS-KSC(-VIE), it would serve the whole Slovakia (including the national BTS-KSC connection) and there would be no pointless flights BTS-VIE. But that's not the way the Slovak government thinks.

there are dozens of VIE-BRU flights,
Not dozens but eight, with a significant number of Slovakian passengers on board. And it is fair to assume, that particuliary in the morning and evening they would prefer to fly from home, when there are flights available. Lesjak (CEO Niki) is not an adventurer, he knows, what he is doing. And I would strongly assume, that there is no "codeshare" with the "pressburg", but mostlikely "good conditions" to use BTS.
as opposed to supporting new flights from the east of Slovakia that is seriously underserved).
Other than BTS is Kosice a private airport owned by Flughafen Wien. And clearly its their job to promote the business
