Dortmund (DTM), long a favourite of cost-sensitive VFR and SME travellers in Germany’s Ruhrgebiet, has unveiled its 2025/-26 winter schedule. Low-cost giant Wizz Air leads the expansion with three new destinations:
• Olsztyn-Mazury (Poland) – twice weekly from 28 October 2025
• Niš (Serbia) – twice weekly from 5 January 2026
• Bratislava (Slovakia) – thrice weekly from 17 March 2026
The additions raise the airport’s total to 34 cities in 17 countries. Olsztyn targets diaspora traffic and lake-district tourism; Niš offers a low-fare gateway to Serbia’s Kopaonik ski resorts; and Bratislava gives the Ruhr region direct access to Slovakia’s burgeoning auto-supply sector.
Pegasus Airlines keeps a daily Istanbul rotation, preserving one-stop connectivity to the Middle East, Asia and Africa – a vital option while EU slot constraints limit long-haul service from Dortmund itself.
Policy impact: NRW’s economic-development agency says direct flights reduce CO₂ compared with car-plus-hub combinations on short/medium sectors, supporting the state’s climate goals without sacrificing market access.
