Warsaw to Doncaster is indeed a new route, announced today (3x per week from 1st April 2008).
Wizzair currently have scheduled 90 flights per week into Luton for summer 2008, excluding any new destinations (of which a further 2 are likely to be announced shortly).

Is that really a good idea, when Ryanair have just started both BUD and POZ from EMA, which is not far at all from COV. When will other smaller airlines learn, Ryanair will just undercut them till the route is dropped.
(If you want more proof about how Ryanair are not invincible look how Aer Arann, a small Irish airline which uses turboprops has remained on the Cork-Dublin in the face of huge competition on the route from Ryanair. They achieve higher load factors on the route than FR despite the fact that their fares are several multiples of those of Ryanair! Bully boy tactics don't always work)

W6 vs FR
@en2r: Minor point: FR have never flown from Stockholm to Krakow. It has also worked the other way too, with W6 dropping HHN-BUD just as FR started flying the route.
In my view, FR vs W6 will be a key battle over the next couple of years (if it lasts that long). Both airlines have flooded the UK - Poland market with capacity and have emerged as the market leaders. The most recent figures (Q1 2007) showed that FR were already Poland's second largest airline by passengers carried, behind LOT and just ahead of W6, despite not having any aircraft based there.
I can see Wizzair becoming an increasing source of irritation to FR as they ramp up the number of connections from traditional FR airports (BOH, PIK, LPL, CRL, NYO etc) on routes that FR might have planned for themselves in the future.
I have still to see any evidence that Wizzair have made a single penny of profit so far. So far they are still running on private money. There was talk earlier this year of a possible floatation, but this hasn't happened. How deep are those pockets?

I get the impression that the big boys at Ryanair seem to have decided to let Wizz Air be for the moment, letting them establish and have free reign on many Ryanair-esque routes. With the strategy being that once the routes are nicely established, Ryanair'll move in for the kill and in one year wipe them out, taking over all their routes.

Let's notice however that nothing would stop FR from basing some aircrafts in Central-Eastern Europe almost immediately if they just decided to. Ryanair instead prefers to haggle about the conditions (airport fees and alike) making very few progress in that matter. The crew and maintenance are cheaper now, but in a few years the costs of creating and keeping the bases will rise in this area as well. It's up to Ryanair will they be fast enough to enjoy these lower costs of labour or will they be late. Not every airport in, say, Poland, is as pricey as Warsaw or Krakow. Others like Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk or Lodz are much cheaper and I'd believe, they are prepared to struck a deal.

New Kiev Base
WizzAir is said to announce a new base in Kiev soon. They want to start serving Ukraine this year. They are now recruiting the crew. It is believed that at the biginning there will be one aircraft in this base flying to Katowice to make the passangers able to change the planes for another W6 flights out of KTW. WizzAir will set up a new brand called WizzAir Ukraine. A week before there was a meeting between Polish and Ukrainian goverments making KTW and KRK next Polish airports to be able to serve flights to Ukraine so that makes this rumour more believeble. In My opinion it is a great step for WizzAir to be the first LCC in Ukraine.

Wizzair in Finland
Last Wednesday Wizzair has started flying to Finland and its very first route links Gdansk to Turku (where it became the first airline to use a new low-cost terminal). It will be interesting to observe the development here, because until now just one truely no-frills carrier is known in Finland (Ryanair flying to TMP).
As far as I know the bookings are going well and (assuming travel forums are relevant as the opinion polls) some other typical Wizzair destinations like BUD, Bulgarian coast or KTW/Krakow could also become popular here.
Btw (edit). It's interesting to estimate the travellers' preferencies by counting the hits received by different countries on travel forums (like in Finland Suomi24.fi/matkailu). Spain, Italy, Bulgaria(!) and Turkey get the most.

Why Finnish people love Bulgaria?
(meaning you can get the return ticket for around 300 euros, people think it's cheap as there are no low-cost flights from Finland to South-European resorts at all).
- Warsaw and Katowice.

- BCN/GRO: don't know why.
- FCO/CIA. It's probably impossible to get new slots (or anyway to increase the number of flights) at CIA, that's why they can add some new routes to FCO only.
- VST/NYO. Trying out Västerås and considering a total moving from NYO???
