They need €/$/Ł. Losing what little credibility they have left does not seem to be an issue. EASA let them do it so why not.

When do Wizz usually release their winter schedules?
Not much available for this winter as yet |
Last year it was on 18th Feb so it looks late!
|
Possibly unsure of how many hulls they will have in their fleet by October.
|
Don't think this has been printed here.
Wizz Air offers 100,000 free flights to refugees from Ukraine and says four planes are stuck in the country (inews.co.uk) |
Another 14 routes from Vienna are cancelled (after the 12 chopped three months ago).
Vienna: Wizz Air is deleting many destinations from the 2022 summer timetable - Aviation.Direct |
Vienna was bound to be a blood bath with Ryanair, Wizz and Austrian all in the running,
That was obvious the day Wizz and RYR announced they were going to go head to head against each other on multiple routes. |

A cynic might say Wizz have issued a press release so as to look good to media... but are actually still happy to take money from credit cards for something they appear to say they are not doing Is there something I am missing here, so as to square the circle ? |
Minus 26 routes from Vienna but the new Abu Dhabi-Mattala Rajapaksa flight will make up for the loss.
|
Meanwhile two 2 addition al Ryanair aircraft in Vienna (+15 routes). Obvious who is winning that one at the moment.
|
The latest load factors, Feb 2022 shows across the group WZZ were 91% whereas RYR was 88% which would imply more bums on seats. I know that doesn't mean profits but if Vienna is weak then it makes sense moving aircraft to more profitable markets. Was not Austria one of the very last EU counties to pull back from travel restrictions due to covid? Anyhow I can't see Austria being a particularly busy Inbound or Outbound destination currently. I'm sure RYR were offered a great deal, they do not go anywhere without a gift of a deal from the airport..

Malta subsidiary
|
Anyone able to give a rough estimate of the potential tax saving by putting maybe 30% of its UK/Hungarian fleet into a Malta-domiciled company ?
|
I doubt Wizz could put any of its U.K. based aircraft into a Malta based company.
|
Malta Air (Ryanair) Max 9H-VUA started it's working day today from STN so I assume no issue having Maltese registered aircraft.
French Law have a good article about benefits of registration with 9H- |

Ryanair UK aircraft tend to fly to non EU destinations, example Morocco whilst being based in UK. Perhaps Wizz Air UK are looking at such routes from UK eg Egypt ?
Then the EU routes could use Maltese AOC with resulting tax benefits. |

More likely to feed their AUH hub with the LRs that start arriving soon.

Happy Birthday Wizzair UK https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/busines...h-sale-3700718

Only a cheap flights if you travel with just a toothbrush and can walk to the airport.

Titan 321 G-POWW covering flights from LGW tomorrow due to crew shortage.
|
Not a single Wizz UK flight left Gatwick within an hour of schedule yesterday and it’s threatening to be the same again today.

Seems that DSA base is being closed, or reduced significantly, from mid June.
|
well that didn't last long. Though I could maybe have put a small wager on it.
|
Thought I'd give Wizz another go, booked a return flight to Malaga back in March (for two weeks time) and opted for the Wizz Air discount club.
Now they've cancelled most of the routes from DSA, are happy to refund the flight money, but have pocketed the discount club cash and don't include it in the refund. Great stuff. Fleeced by this pathetic outfit. |
This is a DSA issue rather than WizzAir

How so? I would imagine Wizz are arguing that the discount club covers all their flights, and not just those from DSA?
|
But the point MDS was making with regard to Wizz Air was their refusal to repay his discount club costs - hence "Great stuff. Fleeced by this pathetic outfit."
Maybe stop rubbing your hands with glee and read the post you are responding to? |
I understand their T&C's and it's my fault for agreeing to them in the first place.
It still doesn't change the fact I feel like I've been partially scammed. It is what it is though. Lesson learned I suppose. Rebooked out of Leeds with a substantial fare increase in tow. |
There will be more of it. Wonder what the excuse will be in case of other airports.
|
Over half of their (WUK) flights out of LGW cancelled yesterday, the rest but one ran with significant delays. 2/9 cancelled today, 3/9 over 3 hours late.
Gatwick have stopped allocating them airbridge stands at peak times due to the disruption they’re causing occupying stands for prolonged periods. |
Having used SEN in the past, maybe its time to give us another look
