Not so loyal at Bristol. They have just one of their four routes left. Other airlines such as easyJet and Ryanair expand all the time at BRS.

Well they keep adding capacity LGW,EDI, SEN all new and their LF is 95% so must be the demand !

I am not saying their is not demand at the moment but i doubt it is sustainable.Nor do Wizz probably hence their move into more western
Europe point to point routes

The seat maps show just three empty seats for the inbound Poznan. It won't let me book the return leg, sold out?

Wizz air BHX based aircraft?

If you are referring to new Poznan that started yesterday then no it is simply utilising the Wroclaw plane at BHX

Nope, Wizz air to base an aircraft at BHX?

I would settle for one but would prefer four or five
One based would be odd

Not going to read to much into that, but combining that with the comments about basing an aircraft above. It's pointing in the right direction

Things look to be happening but I don't think that anything major is 'imminent'.

It may be a bit of a waiting game on this one, although you never know.

I read that BHX will look forward to growing the Wizz offer from BHX. The Barton factor. I said it on the day he was announced: the two main airlines at Luton are what he can bring as he has the relationship. Trust and loyalty counts for an awful lot in deal making....please note Boris Trump.

Hi there all, if I have read this right about wizz that we're a rumours about possible flights to the United States of America, then this if it was true, is probably the only chance for flights from Birmingham to the USA.

Wizz are sounding quite positive about a post-Brexit world.

“If a no-deal Brexit happens on Oct. 31, I don’t think you as a customer would notice when it comes to flying Wizz Air,” Varadi said on the sidelines of a conference in Vilnius.

“Possibly further consolidation opportunities would arise as a result of Brexit and Wizz Air UK can become a consolidating platform in the UK,” he added. “We would be interested in backfilling market gaps if airlines go down, or possibly take over some assets and use them in our platform.”

It's 3x weekly right now if I'm not mistaken? Not sure where the tweeters have got the idea that this is new
