I am not saying Ryanair is better/worse. I am just looking at relative fleet increase (ie capacity) compared to existing ones. (Ryanair has 450 airframes and orders will bring that number to 585. So a 30% increase in total). Taking into account 75 of their order will be replacement, Wizz has a 200% fleet increase....where will these extra seats go?! They are operating in an already very constraint market (ie Easter Europe). The London base is just an UK AOC set up to operate under Brexit. Maybe I am wrong, but I don’t see Wizz doing the same thing in CDG, FRA, AMS... So if they stay within their niche in Central/Eastern Europe, this huge increase in capacity remains a mystery....
