Amazing how Wizzair basing an airplane generates 36 jobs whilst Ryanair creates thousands per airplane ;)

A 7th aircraft will be based at WAW at the end of June and 7 new routes (VNO, IEV, BTS, LYS, NCE, SUF, OTP) will be launched.

Low-cost Hungarian carrier Wizz Air has announced a bumper rise in passenger numbers for last month.

Passenger numbers rose 21.8 per cent to 1.7m compared to the same month last year, while load factor, gauging how full the planes are, rose from 86.4 per cent in February 2016 to 91.9 per cent.

On a rolling 12 month basis, passenger numbers rose 19 per cent to 23.44m.

Wizz returns to LWO, adds new destinations from IEV:


Lviv-Berlin SXF, 2x weekly from June

Kiev-Lublin, 2x weekly from August

1 NEW ROUTE FROM KATOWICE

Athens (from winter 2017 2pw)

Wizz really extending its network map now - opening a route between Budapest and Astana in Kazakhstan - flight time is about 5h30 on what appears to be an A320. Presumably this is for people wishing to self-connect in Budapest

As many of the people reading this are based in the UK, I suppose an A320 could fly Luton-Astana non-stop (Gulf Air fly Bahrain to Paris in an A320 but with rather fewer seats) and would be flying over land virtually all the way, but I imagine it probably would take a hefty payload penalty to avoid the risk of having to refuel. The relative absence of potential diversionary runways in large areas of Kazakhstan and need for hotels for crew rest might also be factors prohibiting a Luton-Astana route. No idea what a UK-Kazakhstan bilateral says though

In range of a Neo though.

Current fleet: 80 aircrafts (63 A320 + 17 A321)
