That instantly gives late runners a problem with extending airfield hours, handling agents, fuel etc to accommodate those events. So without extending the airport opening hours past 2300L, it’s already compromised as an alternative to DSA.
Jet2 have 8 arrivals after 23.00 tonight. The Wizz DSA schedule actually looks like a prettuy good fit between Jet2 and RYR waves. There's only two departures from LBA tonight after 18.30, and none after 20.00

Agree yr comments on the catchement areas for Wizz DSA customers though
