No surprise, it was never going to bother Easyjet and Adria, who both offered daily flights. A three times weekly(at best) service was hardly going to make inroads into well established quality services.

Next base in POZ/EPPO?
There are strong suggestions that Wizzair will be revealing the location of its next Polish base very soon. Anyway - and that is official - the CEO Jozsef Varadi will hold a press conference next Monday, June 18th, in Poznan.

LTN-POZ currently has five weekly flights, carried 7824 pax in April, increasing to daily from 7 July. From Oct, the route will only drop to six weekly, so the route seems to be doing ok now.

Just reading this thread last night i saw that someone wrote that the Luton - Ljubljana flight has stoped, and i am meant to be flying to there in August.
Problem is Wizzair never told us it was closed and when we phoned them they said they they were only going to tell us 3 weeks before the flight
i have had this before and the airline (Air Berlin) told us when the route closed, and we were able to get on a new flight, now i have had to go to treiste in Italy to get to Slovenia with ryanair.
but if i didn't look at this site i don't think i would have ever known and would have gone to the airport without knowing
This is very poor service from Wizzair and i shall never fly with them again

You might prefer EZY, nevertheless RYR DOES FLY TO SLOVENIA as well and even in August ticket prices start from 4.99 GBP (+ fees & charges) one way
Maribor is a nice place in Slovenia, not so far from LJU.
