Wizz at Gatwick

I've been looking through FR24 on Wizz flights at Gatwick - there seem to be numerous cases of Wizz flights due to go out of LGW to EU destinations in the afternoon departing Gatwick a few hours late, even when the aircraft has been sitting on the ground at Gatwick for a few hours prior to scheduled departure. Yes, it could be aircraft suddenly going tech, but it would be odd for tech issues to be focussed particularly on LGW

Are the delays because of lack of crew ? Something to do with LGW ATC ? Flights being held at the gate to wait for pax who are stuck in security screening queues ? Not enough ground staff to dispatch flights ? Something else ?

Every airline is suffering from all of the above, at the same time. They all have a snowball effect.

A 7th aircraft will be based at Sofia.

In July available capacity exceeded 5 million with 4,760,725 passengers carried (LF 89.7%).

Fleet contains now more than 160 aircraft.

LGW summer delays are nothing new. Pre or post covid. It’s why I deliberately avoid the place in these months because [on easyJet particularly], nothing runs to time.

Rather despicable act when Ukraine is under attack. The airline has no shame.

I am sure if the Eastern European customers knew this of despicable act, they would look to book with another airline. Wizzair boss has lost the plot!

This is an EU airline and sanctions are meant to be in place. This is the airline that had 3 aircraft and staff trapped in Kiev, as Russia sent in invasion forces. The war carries on with thousands of civilians killed that affects the whole world while this airline just doesn’t care, as it heads back into Moscow. Putin’s favourite EU airline no doubt.

It'll be operated by the Abu Dhabi subsidiary, so not an EU airline. We all know sanctions are applied selectively, so not nice but legal.
