According to the BBC both Wizz and Easyjet are after Monarch’s Gatwick slots. Wonder what impact this would have on Wizz’s Luton operation if they got a foothold into Gatwick?

I remember when Easyjet first started to expand into Gatwick as Luton took a hit.

This could be massive with the new international airport coming on-line in less than 12 months

Wizz tried Gatwick a few years ago but did not last long, we shall have to see what happens. Regarding the Turkish situation yes I can see Istanbul from Luton in the not too foreseeable future.

Using Google Translate

As the first and only regional airline company in Turkey, Borajet Airlines has been operating since 2010 and has been sold to SBK Holding by Yalçın Ayaslı, a businessman who survived in the last days of last year.

Sezgin Baran Korkmaz owns SBK Holding, which lasted until April, when he passed away, and then announced that he was stopping flights with a sudden decision to enter the restructuring process.

Since April 24, 2017, only airline passengers who are flying in the framework of an agreement with Turkish Airlines have begun to talk again about changing hands.

According to AirportHaber, Borajet aspires to a foreign airline. It was alleged that WizzAir's negotiations with Borajet officials, one of Europe's leading low-cost airlines, had been positive and 49 per cent of the company would be taken over by the Hungarian airline.

FLIGHTS SHOULD MAKE AIRBUSES

According to the same report; the management of the company will be created by WizzAir. Also all team planning and recruitment processes will be carried out by WizzAir again.

On the other hand, after the share transfer process, in the first stage 5 airbus A321 aircraft will be included in the Borajet fleet in January 2018. After the merger, low-cost transport will be carried out in the name of Wizz Air, not Borajet.

It is stated that the company will use Sabiha Gökçen Airport as its hub and will carry out both domestic and international flights from here.

It is stated that the future of Borajet will be evident after the negotiations with WizzAir, which was declared its foundation in 2003 and continued its flight activities since 2004.

28 CENTERS HIGHLIGHTS

Wizz Air, which carried out its first flight on May 19, 2004, now has flights to hundreds of destinations from 28 different centers.

The company, which has 86 airplanes, carries its flights with Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. Wizz Air, one of Europe's youngest flags, has an average age of about 4.

9 MONTHS MORE THAN 21 MILLION PASSENGER TRANSPORT

The company's shares, which were offered to the public on February 25, 2015, are traded on the London Stock Exchange.

The company traded under the WIZZ brand in the London Stock Exchange has more than 3 employees.

In January-September of 2017 according to the average 9-month period of 91.84 percent of the average flight rate of Wizz Air, this process served a total of 21 million 201 thousand 589 passengers.

KPMG have been granted a Judicial Review by the High Court regarding the slot issue so it might be a little time yet.

Wizzair Turkey

It is stated that the company will use Sabiha Gökçen Airport as its hub and will carry out both domestic and international flights from here.
If it is to be based at Gökçen, then that is the Asian side of Istanbul, does that not produce additional problems in route rights?

Re Wizz schedule.

Looked at w/c 9/7/18 and it clearly shows that apart from the 06.00am (VAR, 2,4,6 CND 1,3,5,7)flight, the next departure is 07.30am (LJU 2,4,6,7 SZY 1,3,5)

These two look the based a/c but can't see a third at the moment.
Still more to come??

October.
An increase is an increase...however the loss of MON is readily apparent in the figures now & if the repatriation flights are stripped out would be in negative territory.
A clearer picture this month.

The terminal seems very quiet this month, in fact the airport is a nice place to visit

I would think only the Gatwick slots have value so the court case is about Gatwick

Reallocation of slots

So far MAG are pleased that Greybull have lost the right to sell slots at Manchester. The ruling for both LTN and LGW are to be appealed by KPMG.

Until the matter has been dealt with, LTN can not reallocate those slots but I’m sure they will be snapped up, eventually.

The media have certainly made this very Gatwick centric, but interestingly, the only airport to make a submission as an 'interviening airport' were MAG on behalf of MAN, so one wonders why they in particular went to court to get the slots released, they wouldn't have done it for the craic.

And Luton but up until 17th November Monarch administrators fight to keep hold of lucrative landing slots

Interesting to note that this figure is now higher than Copenhagen at its peak

I remember several years ago up to 22 movements in one given day, that being on a Sunday.

With my deepest respect Southside Bobby, this issue with Monarch and the outcome in relation to airport slots-is a 'drama'!
