There hasnt been any suggestion of further runway repairs next winter. The idea was doing them this winter to keep the runway going until they can completely resurface it towards the end of the decade.

BBC News - Man sent bailiffs to Luton Airport for Wizz Air refund

Man sent bailiffs to Luton Airport for Wizz Air refund

An out-of-pocket dad sends in reinforcements to claim money from an airline over a cancelled flight.

You are become somewhat obsessive with the negative reporting on Wizz Air UK. As I have said on a number of occasions now, Wizz Air UK must operate as a separate business as it is a subsidiary of Wizz Air Hungary.

Similarly when reporting on TUI Airways we don't then report on TUI fly, TUI fly Belgium, TUI fly Netherlands and TUI fly Nordic so please stop posting on Wizz Air UK in a Wizz Air Hungary thread.

It says he brought the case against Wizz Air. Are ALL Luton flights operated by Wizz Air UK?

The destination he was flying to, Faro, was operated by Wizz UK. As we know reporting will often exclude certain details like this

 

[White Heather]

The press generally don't differentiate between Wizz Hungary and Wizz UK. Too much hard work. The fact the livery is the same doesn't help but these so called journalists are the ones who write stories about passengers sitting on the runway for hours. If it's concrete, it must be the runway.
Lazy and ill informed . Gone are the days where rags have an informed aviation correspondent who actually knows the industry.

Also, the news article involved Luton Airport. Why was it posted in the LBA forum, to which it is not relevant?

Because I thought it was relevant to Wizz Air! I did post it on the Luton thread as well, plus the airline thread 'Wizz Air'

I personally don't see the issue in reporting it in where you felt appropriate. Are we to separate all Ryanair threads in all airports to "Malta Air" "Buzz Air" "Ryanair" "Ryanair UK" and "Lauda". No it's too much work and they all belong to the same parent - Ryanair holdings. All sold under Ryanair label.

There is zilch difference to Wizz.

Wizz Air Holdings owns Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air Hungary, Wizz Air Malta and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi.

Are we to separate Wizz Air Hungary and Wizz Air Malta thread when, which they will, use Wizz Air Malta AOC to operate flight into LBA? Also as above since re: Ryanair.

The admin asked only recently that posts like this that are not relevant to LBA but are purely relevant to Wizz UK (in a general sense), be posted in the Wizz UK airline thread, and not here in LBA just because Wizz Hungary, happen to fly here.

Whether we all agree or not isn't really relevant. Personally I do. I understand why they are posted, out of interest, but I think there's too many negative posts that are actually relating to Wizz UK, who dont fly here. Would there be so many posts on the LBA forum about about Ryanair because someones flight from Liverpool was cancelled? I don't think so.

But, ultimately, admin run the forum and it's up to is to comply with their requests. An irate passenger with an axe to grind about Wizz UK at LTN really isn't relevant to LBA.

In reality - it's a none story. He's gone to the press to get movement from Wizz.

As I also stated; if we are splitting the Wizz UK/Hungary then my feelings are we do same Ryanair as it's all same. Different AOC, Lower costs but all operate under same umbrella. But generic should be moved over to general.

Yes, true. But it's still nothing to do with LBA. Perhaps Luton at a stretch, definitely the Wizz UK thread..

 

[Aviador]

Thank you Heather, if someone keeps repetitively posting negative things about crap service provided by Buzz at Luton, we don't want to read about it here in the LBA Ryanair thread which is why you need to differentiate between the two.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Wizz coming to LBA is a very positive thing to happen and as WH mentions loads have been good so far and can only get better as word gets round there here at leeds. Who knows perhaps if we can eventually get some sort of infrastructure in place then LBA could become a large base for wizz, it certainly could happen as their only other northern airport is LPL which is of course close to MAN. Jet2 have proved leeds is a goldmine so lets have a large Eastern european airline here at LBA as well.

Is LPL can base for Wizz? I know LTN is but thought LPL just gets regular visitors like us rather than having Wizz aircraft based there.

Sorry what i was basically trying to say is they fly into LPL. Sorry for the confusion

Wizz Air plane could not land at its destination, passengers taken elsewhere

The flight was unable to land at the local airport after several attempts. #hungary #dailynewshungary #wizzair #madeira #portugal #flight #weather

They seem to have looked after passengers in this case!

 

[Len Fish]

See flight W63015 from Bucharest scheduled to land at LBA at 16.50 is now expected at 19.50, although it doesn’t appear to be in the air yet. That won’t help their bottom of the league table for delays position!
