With this in mind I would then have expected that in the winter season Wizz would move those departures to after 6am to save this limited resource but no they just carry on. Tomorrow for example there are two 5:30 departures yet there are only 3 departures between 6:00 and 6:24. They don't seem to be putting much effort into helping themselves.
But there maybe slot constraints at the airport they are flying to, not always easy to wiggle things around both ends.
Edit: Looking at those destinations though, I can't see any if those airports being slot constrained, but they could be on flights later in the day.
