Wizz Routes

Just been an armchair CEO for moment...

Wizz should be jumping at the chance to start routes to destinations that Luton is weak on, but are very popular from other UK airports operated by low cost carriers!

As mentioned above the Canaries is a no brainer, even if they operated only 2-3 times a week, to a couple of the islands. Would be great if they considered Scandinavia and possibly Istanbul too.

Now they are going to be operating with UK registered aircraft, I wonder if they will jump at the chance at taking up the London-Moscow route? From what I understand the UK-Russia agreement, allows two airlines from each country to operate on the route. With easyJet no longer operating on the route, it only leaves only BA and room for another potential UK operator?

Think this one is a bit pie in the sky, but the new Airbus NEO's should have the legs to do Dubai, would be great if they operated that!

Anyway back to reality, when you look at Wizz's route map, you have to give it to them for sticking to their principles of the avoiding the the blood bath from London on the western European routes. Other than Bari and Iceland, they look like they have drawn a line through Europe from the German/Polish Border going south to the Italy/Slovenia border.
