Wizz have seen the pandemic as an opportunity to dump low fares into a crippled market in the hope of gaining market share and to further impact competitors such as easy, Ryanair, Norwegian and TUI. Unfortunately what they didn’t consider is that this pandemic would go on as long as it has. It’s all very well saying “given the circumstances”, but given the circumstances every other airline has chosen to be cautious. Flying 67 passengers on a 220 seat A321 to the Canary Islands is only sustainable for a certain length of time.
Wizz will never be able to get a foothold in LGW because the existing operators won’t let them. We’ve already seen easyJet take ex-Norwegian short haul slots. I can’t imagine they paid a lot for them - it’s in nobody’s interest for any airline to let Wizzair get a foot in the door, and easy aren’t going to make the same mistake they made in Luton.
