No idea. Heard from a couple of people who claim to be in the know - but with Ryanair deciding to put another aircraft back into LBA ahead of their post covid recovery I think it tells you all you need to know. Not a clue re. Amazon.As for Ryanair not heard that one does it sit alongside the Amazon Air being close rumour?
We know Ryanair/Wizz at DSA together wouldn't/couldn't work so it's where next for the airport surely Ryanair would need to operate on some of the current Wizz routes.
What the DSA supporters would like to know is how Wizz were doing (the facts) and if they were making money and if those routes would work for another company the next problem is any airline will want two based A/C where are all those route's going to come from? but then where next for an already dosed down Eastern European network with Wizz in the present, do the airport write this sorry mess away and hope they can secure some of the lost pre-covid East European network that at one point stood at around 13-14 routes.
I don’t think you’ll ever get the facts as you want them, but if it was a financial success they wouldn’t be pulling out. They’ve obviously simply not secured enough forward bookings and reducing their planned fleet size at DSA has probably caused them to receive penalties from the airport.
Any company wanting to develop an airport in the way Peel appear to aspire to would need a huge long term financial incentive to offer a carrier. The market there really isn’t as large as they might like to believe.
