WizzAir at London Luton...
Today Natasha Kazmer - Communication and
PR Manager WizzAir say that WizzAir not give 3rd A320 this summer to Prague Ruzyne (because the airport fees are to high - like FR yestarday
)...
and
also say that 5th A320 for Katowice (from 27th march 2010) will stay at the Katowice Airport.
Hmmm...
it's a little strange, because 3 new flights will cancelled (Pisa, Bergen, Hamburg Lubecca), and professional airlines in Europe (WizzAir now is in this group) when the high season is comming, wants more flights, no grounded aircraft at the airport..
So, I think saw that Katowice 5th A320 will be relocate at London Luton for 3 summer months.
Natasha Kazmer yestarday saw, that WizzAir have a "diffrent opinion" about cheap airport fees at KAT airport, and I think saw, "Luton base - for summer" it will be also one of more arguments for negotiations about agreement WizzAir - Katowice Airport (largest base for Wizz, actually
) and future in this WizzAir base.
Now, we know that speculations about "london's Luton air" are true, and WizzAir next move can be very interesting...:-)
Firstly:
If, one of two A320 WizzAir Ukraina after small "crashed" at Kiev Borispol (at the and of december 2009) will be now finish and can now again flying - we have one "free" A320 for move WizzAir,
secondly:
If, in contrast with what Mrs Natasha Kazmer say yesterday, about
: "5th A320 for Katowice stay at polish Siliesian Region", this aircraft will fly to London Luton - we will be have two "A320".
and
ad.1.
are very possibly in near future:
"W" pattern KAT-LTN-RIX-LTN, 2/4/6 can change for LTN-RIX-LTN,
sources: new flights: KAT - LTN - BEG - LTN -KAT is in the same time like
actually KAT - LTN - RIX - LTN - KAT rotations.
Something must be changes (one aircraft from KAT this doing).
ad.2.
new routes: LTN - VNU (Vilnius) - LTN, 2/3 weekly
LTN - TLL (Tallin) - LTN, 2 weekly,
LTN - LCJ (ŁóDŹ, Poland) -LTN - 3/4 weekly
all for one A320.
If will be also second A320,
can we will see:
more Italian cities:
LTN - Milano Bergamo - LTN - minimum 4 weekly, (no competitors FR/easy)
LTN - Roma Fiumicino - LTN - minimum 3/4 weekly, (no comp. FR/easy)
LTN - PSA Galileo - LTN - 2/3 weekly,(no comp. FR/easy)
LTN - Bologna Forli - 2 weekly, (no comp. FR/easy)
and Spain (only one cities is there with no direct Easyjet.com and Ryanair.com - this is Valencia Manises - WizzAir flight there from 4 cities (3 in Romania, one in Bulgaria),
LTN - VLC - LTN - 3 weekly,
and in my opinion next cities for WizzAir - Portugal,
LTN - OPO - LTN - 2/3 weekly (also FR and Easy not fly there).
It could be for Eastern Europe with "management strategies" good idea for WizzAir - "little HUB" for WizzAir in Western Europe, because big is in London Stansted for FR, and London Gatwick for Easyjet.
Maybe will be good move!
Also, is interesting news and initially speculations about initially cancelled base in Warsaw for Norwegian.no and move to Finnland (Helsinki)...
hmm..it will be also very important for WizzAir and WAW/and/or/Luton plans, because WizzAir can maybe wants add 5th A320 for Warsaw (example from winter season 2010), and slowly realising plans for Luton...but in this year they can takes 5 or 6 new A320, from july to december 2010, and in contrast Easyjet can take near 10-12 A319/320 and FR can take near 14-18...B738-800 it could be too much... for WizzAir and his ambitions plans.....:-)
