Agree yr comments on the catchement areas for Wizz DSA customers though
There are, however as
pug notes departures are potentially a problem. Leeds is 24/7 but is ‘by prior arrangement’. Therefore if you have a late runner and you’ve not advised everyone early enough you run into issues such as fuel and handling. The LBA airlines have commercial agreements with the handling agents etc to operate those flights and they’re catered for. Unless an operator has those after in place it’ll mean night stops, or a divert out, all of which add to significant costs, or an aircraft being out of place to operate the first wave.
As Pug also noted, the environmental impact of night departures may also severely restrict the type of operation WZZ regularly does at DSA.
