Air Vallée (Rimini) has abandoned plans to offer flights from the southern Italian cities of Rome Fiumicino and Salerno Pontecagnano to Portoroz, Slovenia on the back of low demand. Return flights, which were to have begun on December 4, were marketed by CTM Travel Air at EUR260 (USD312) compared to EUR120 for return flights from Rome to Venice Treviso, just 2 hours away by road from Portoroz.
Despite recent setbacks which also saw the collapse of a charter contract with Blue Wings Air (Foggia Gino Lisa) to operate Milan Malpensa to Foggia Gino Lisa flights, the Ligurian operator has bounced back with a new contract with Balkan Express offering a 3x weekly charter service from Bari and Brindisi to Tirana, Albania.
