Birmingham: Wizz Air Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[IanFarquharson]

We may be seeing a bit more of Wizz Air at Birmingham soon!

I'm hearing that more than just LCA is in the pipeline, I just hope that the route team can get it over the finishing line!

I wonder when we will see the Wizz GC-1 touching down at Birmingham? 🤣

Tell us more 🙂

I am hearing that in the near future Bacău, Larnaca & Milan are on the cards from Birmingham as destinations are expanded from these new bases.

Blue Airs exit may also push Wizz Air to increase it's OTP route frequency.

Birmingham has also been listed as a potential destination for Wizz Abu Dhabi when equipment allows.

I think that Birmingham could see a Wizz based aircraft soon as Wizz have highlighted that it intends to grow it's western Europe presence and the whole idea of using Gemma is to promote wizz as an airline for your holiday routes not only VFR traffic or city breaks. Could this also be why a successful route like Poznan has been taken off sale? Surely it would be better operationally on a BHX based aircraft.

That would be perfect, there was rumoured to be a based A321 at BHX about 12m ago but all went quiet

The same rumour was about for DSA of a based aircraft and it all went quiet, wonder if a larger plan would includes other UK airports such as DSA, Liverpool and Gatwick.

It feels like things are bubbling under the surface with Wizz at present and its when not if things happen on a large scale in the UK. It would be a massive boost for Birmingham having Wizz come in with an increased network. They would be a far more stable airline than the offerings that other airlines have had at Birmingham in recent history where boom and bust set in and carriers hopped on and off the Birmingham tarmac like a fairground ride.

My memory isn't the greatest but wasn't there a plan for 2x A321's?

Lets hope that that this happens, Wizz could be a great asset for the future.

I know nothing, now what about Hans Airways

Hans Airways, don't even go there as it sounds like another toy town airline planning on direct flights to India with a stop in the arctic circle.🤣

Well BHX has had it best day since March today - good news

 

[Wrightfly73]

Well done to Doncaster Sheffield for securing a W!zz base, hoping that BHX will be next.......

Do you think BHX have done a deal ?

It is only a matter of time, think Liverpool will be next and they are obviously desperate to get in to Gatwick how long that takes who know but I would assume Birmingham would be one of the next UK bases.

LPL and DSA were always favourite's for the second base due to the long standing partnership with Wizz and amount of flights they have at each airport not to mention both are owned by Peel.

Yes!!!! Such a brilliant route. I suggested this route via email to Wizz about 6 months ago. Great to see it added.

Awesome news for a Friday afternoon 👍

 

[Nethercote2019]

Great news...& I’m sure I’m not only one when they saw headline thought it was going to be more bad news

Digressing slightly from the good news but I have to admit I love the Wizz Air livery. It spices up any ramp on a gloomy day.
