I don't know, but am just surmising that perhaps the Wizz UK airframes aren't actually "owned" by the airline but leased and therefore it would be difficult to impound them against payment of CCJs as the lessors would have something to say on that. If the aircraft were "owned" by Wizz (the EU based business) and leased to the UK entity then that could make them difficult to take a lien against.

None of that precludes bailiffs knocking on the door of Wizz UK offices and walking away if assets such as IT equipment, the coffee machine and their like, or indeed a creditor taking out a winding up order against them should they desire to go to such extremes.
