Having had the biggest schedule for Wizz in the UK outside London, BHX has definitely been the biggest hit. Potential signs of waning demand and increased competition in a market with tiny margins. Seems to be a changing on a near daily basis this week so maybe more changes to come...

How Wizz Air is managing with more than 20% of its fleet grounded | Flightradar24 Blog

More than 20% of Wizz Air’s fleet is grounded due to defects in the Pratt and Whitney geared turbofan engines that power their aircraft.

www.flightradar24.com

Interesting update on the impact of the P&W engine problems on the Wizz fleet.

 

[White Heather]

Wizz Air are wet leasing 3 Boeing 737 aircraft (type not stated) from Sky Up airlines, a Ukrainian airline currently operating from Malta due to the Russian invasion. The wet lease runs from 1st April to 31st March 2025. Two aircraft will be based at Bucharest Otopeni and one at Warsaw Chopin.

In addition, 3 dry leased aircraft will join the fleet from an un-named carrier with the bases also not named, whilst 30 new Airbus deliveries are expected by 1st March 2025. A further 15 existing leases have been extended to help the airline get through the current grounding of 20% of the fleet due to the P&W engine issues. Each aircraft is expected to be grounded for up to 300 days.

Wizz Air's engine woes are 'going to take years' to resolve CEO warns, with nearly 50 planes grounded until late-2025

"This is not an overnight fix, this is going to take years," said Wizz Air CEO Jozsef Varadi.

Some way to go before Wizz Air can return to full service according to this. Looks like 2026 before the full fleet is available whilst there are now delays in delivery of new aircraft by Airbus, just to compound matters.
