For god sake brexit happened years ago can people ( mainly remoaners) stop banging on about it, it happened.

If the EU was that enticing 52% wouldn't have woken up the bureaucrtic unelected car crash it was and is !!

UK plc will be just fine , we just need a competent government !

Brexit happened years ago, as did covid, as did the global financial crisis, as did Sept 11th …ALL of which (and others factors) will have had major and long lasting impacts on global aviation trends across the world, but just because they have happened doesn’t mean we are not allowed to talk about them and their ongoing impacts!

I’ll happily stop talking about “it” when brexiters admit that stopping the “free movement of people” from our closest and nearest economic block just MAY have impacts on the number of people travelling!

I’ll stop talking about it when it stops effecting us!

Another factor could be the new border controls due later this year. For that reason our family holiday is Scotland, by car.

Anyway, shame to be losing WIZZ even though they are not the best service.

UK PLC is a joke, and I predict UK PLC will still be a joke after circa 8 years of a Labour Government, if they win.


Ooooops I fear the thread is being derailed and the Mods will soon be lining up to pounce

TBH, given that reduced immigration from Eastern Europe was sold as one of the key objectives of Brexit you can't be surprised that some of those routes have topped out and are now dropping off a bit, although interestingly, Romania is still growing.

You could read into that anyway that countries like Poland and Lithuania are now, relatively speaking, have stronger local economies than than when free movement was new so the opportunities to earn more money in the UK v Poland for example are now diminished.

To see the whole picture I'd be interested to see if there are corresponding upticks in inflows from other places such as the Philipines and Africa where the incentive to come to the UK may now be greater. The NHS in particular has looked specifically to these regions to recruit.

Wizz air Frequency winter 2024/25

Budapest-2 weekly

I still understand why they removed Krakow from its system even though easyjet are operating it this winter.

Anything is possible with Wizz be it plus or minus, they are concentrating on LGW at moment
They’re probably even more changeable than RYR on routes

Ryanair and Wizz operated i am 95% sure

I don't think it ever operated Neil......or I must've been asleep or in hibernation
Or maybe it did for a while and covid stopped it. Either way, if it operated, sorry Ant

Can't see Wizz adding much given theay have severe problems with their Pratt & Witney powered Airbses with 47 out of service in June.
They have stated growth will be flat at best for 2years.
