"I wonder will Ryanair ever wish to takeover Wizzair"

Think there has been speculation on this before - they have very similar business models (lowest cost wins), but different fleets, so would FR really want to buy them out? Presumably, as they generally stick to the cheaper secondary airports, what other value would Wizz offer to FR in terms of slots etc?

Looking at gaps in their route network, I think MME has been speculated on, but there is also plenty of untapped demand for routes here in the Midlands. FR have EMA-Poland fairly well covered, and I can't see Wizz using BHX, so how likely would they be to look at CVT? Would there be any technical probs with an A320 on CVT-GDN/WAW?
