Been rumoured on various sites and platforms and most importantly ACL about more slots from wizz

Someone mentioned on here before the plan was to get more away based routes from all 3 Low cost carriers.

Well I have no idea which ACL Reports your referring to but the Initial Summer 2026 ACL Reports doesnt suggest that.

Wizz Weekly Slots Allocation for Summer 2026

• BHX = 86x ATM Slots = 43x Weekly Departs
• MAN = 0

In fact according to the Summer 2026 ACL Reports, not only were Wizz not awarded slots at MAN, Wizz have not even applied for slots at MAN.

Now the big caveat here is that a) the Summer 2026 ACL Report is merely a snap shot of time. Things can changes and other on this forum do have access the the live slot database which we don't, and b) slot request are no guarantee of route operations.

i have zero idea what you're looking at, what page youre quoting, where these numbers are from, what you're suggesting or what this has to do with POZ? Any context or narrative would be useful?!

If you look on Poznans Slot report.They have requested slots.

 

[nwoody2001]

Interesting, i hadnt appreciated that was the POZ ACL report, APOLOGIES... but a few points to note:

- BHX is listed as a new destinations - it isn't, this route is operated by RYR
- BHX is listed on the POZ ACL report - But isnt on the BHX ACL report which you'd expect
- If this route is added, its unlikely to be Wiz - more likey RYR. - The POZ Report suggests 540 slots requested, but W6 only have 480 slots, W4 only have 240 slots AND W9 only have 420 slots

Realistically I can’t see no more LCC routes for the based carriers at bhx for next summer.I think we’re sorted. Be interesting what Wizz has planned next summer with its slots

The focus should really be on Eastern carriers.What will Qatar do.Probably keep it 1 daily but who knows.
should saudia maintain there Saturday in peak season
Will Spicejet and PIA make a return

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Air France have increased BHX from 23-27 weekly flights from September 2026.Dont know if they operated that level of frequency last summer

Medium

Medium

Sky express or RAM

 

[Karl C]

Sky express or RAM

Both of those are short haul. Medium would be the likes of the middle East or maybe Egypt
