WIZZAIR must be pleased with the number of bookings so far. Anyone know how they are going?
Flight times much better

Good - would love to see BUD on their list. Maybe BFS is good for wizz, an FR free zone.

Agree Mart would love to see BUD on the departure board


Back to the Aer Lingus court case. BBC have posted an article stating Aer Lingus did not have a 10 year agreement. Full story BBC News - Aer Lingus to 'vigorously' defend claim for damages from Belfast International Airport


I can remember court case some years ago involving BMI and Durham Tees airport. Can anyone remember the outcome?

I thought that was bmibaby, I think the court favoured the airport, the deal required them to base 2 a/c for 10 years

The last time BUD was done from Belfast it was with AerLingus,the loads were bad sometimes not getting above 70/80 pax it was withdrawn,so can't see it making a return.

Viewing Gallery

I can confirm that the viewing galley opened this morning after being closed for about 10 years.

That's true but wizz are well established in the Hungarian market, a well known name in eastern European communities - also they have no routes from DUB. EI pulled virtually everything city break wise from BFS leaving just sunshine and LHR, it doesn't mean nobody else can make it work. I'm sure Vilnius for instance which has been extended into winter will be heavily made up of Lithuanian emigrants and a chunk of city break tourists from NI, enough to make it pay.

I think the EI operated flights to BUD came at a time of major economic downturn. Things are now steadily improving. I believe a Mon and Fri flight would make economical sense

It was announced later in the first place, also maybe Wizz are launching winter in stages.

Riga looks a great place!

A new route is always better than no route or losing a route. I just hope its well supported. Are Wizz thd lads that charge for cabin baggage? ?.

You can take a "small" cabin bag, if you imagine backpack type thing for free, anything like a wheelie bag is chargeable. From what I know they strictly enforce it, bring a tape measure!

Looking on wizzair website nothing is available from KTW for winter schedule as of yet, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
