The EasyJet A320 uses the CFM56 5B4/3. The Wizzair aircraft has the IAE V2527 A5. Both are rated at 27000lbs thrust/120kn according to published data.

The additional AMS services sound like extra capacity for the school midterm holiday period. Its not uncommon for airlines to put on extra capacity at this time.

The Airbus FMA indicates the technical status of the aircraft and has no connection with the approval status of the runway.

We can certainly agree there is no LTS approval at SEN. The question I am asking is whether there is approval for standard Cat 1 autoland, given, as you point out, the narrow runway. Is there a published Airbus limitation that precludes all autoland on less than standard width runway, i.e. not just Cat2/3 ?
