Wizz Air

[IanFarquharson]

Yes closed it’s base in Abu Dhabi but still will receive away based routes.Have no clue where the aircraft will go after the 1st of September

Stands a chance they will go to Warsaw !

Am I right in saying 2 of those aircraft are going to Modlin and the rest to Chopin.

Is there a relocation plan for the aircraft?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Adding Sibiu,Sucueva and Rome and Added Frequencies to Budapest,Bucharest and Craicova goes to show how interested bhx is in Wizz.Reckon we will have a base by 2027

Maybe they've just analysed some of the stats from LTN and identified areas where postcodes from the Greater Birmingham area feature heavily and decided to add routes to mop up the demand?

 

[Paulsstrange]

Ray I would say that's spot on

Ur right.I know there’s a lot of Bulgarian/Romanian foreigners in and around Edgbaston,Selly oak five ways area.

In acocks green,Yardley and main parts of Sheldon it’s mainly polish.

I know this as there was a mixed bag of foreigners on the 11c to my former workplace.

Ray ur spot on it depends on postcode and location

Let’s see what happens

Sucueva looks like it’s removed from the website but not the app.

Not long enough - yet

Not long enough - yet

Is ‘yet’ a good sign or bad sign of things to come?

I'm sure the EU competition department would have something to say about that. A merger would make Ryanair into an unassailable behemoth. Frightening tbh

Yep i can't see that being allowed to happen.

Mike O’Leary is as tight as me fitting through a turnstile let’s put that into context.Ryanair buying out Wizz Air is odd cause didn’t he mention the whole time that all wanted was Boeing aircraft

 

[IanFarquharson]

He doesnt say it will be Ryanair but he is convinced they will be bought.

Ryanair chief repeats belief Wizz Air will soon be acquired by another company

Michael O’Leary dismisses rival carrier as ‘not a competitor’

How many aircraft have wizz still got spare but not being currently worked on.

I’m just thinking ahead of like we’re getting this extension done to the Stands this winter and it had me thinking of Wizz jet2 and Pegasus if you like for like situations.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Wizz air have announced its Winter 2027 schedule
Budapest-Not on sale after October 2025
Rome-3 weekly
Craicova -3 weekly
Bucharest -4 weekly
Sibiu-2 weekly
Suceava-3 weekly

All flights are evening and night departures

Remember Ray saying there’s a possibility of a few new routes in the works a few months ago

 

[Ray Finkle]

It's not uncommon for Wizz to put different countries on sale at different times so hopefully BUD will appear in due course.

there’s a possibility of a few new routes in the works a few months ago

I'd heard of two but one I thought may have been announced already so, as usual, it's a case of wait and see.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

A reminder that Sucueva starts 3 weekly next Monday operating mornings

Hopefully some more wizz routes in the coming months
