Fascinating route network from Vienna, gradually spreading their wings to western European destinations.

They do seem to be moving west, although Vienna is only a few miles from Bratislava.

Only Soviet occupation after WWII had broken strong ties between Hungary and Austria (remember Austro-Hungarian Empire?) and the division between East and West historically didn't exist there. For Wizz Air, a Hungarian airline, the choice of Vienna has been very natural, I guess, and even relatively high charges there didn't prevent it from happening.

Press release was back in June 2017. Not really mentioned but I thought 22 additional weekly flights justify an additional aircraft?

Oh yes it justifies. However the 7th aircraft mentioned till IATA W17/18 is a virtual based at SOF with crew only. The a/c flies rotation from LTN and just one to/ from SOF. Starting this summer the 7th will be stationed at SOF with full rotation from/to SOF base. So they are 7 at SOF.

I'd be interested to see how far Wizz UK will go. They're used to operating thinner routes, I'd be interested to see if they can plug any gaps that the likes of EZY and FR have left... Although I presume they will stay very much Luton centric

Don't forget this will be based on the version with 2 overwing exits which have a maximum of 240. The current config with no overwing is a maximum of 220.
