Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread - 2021

It was hard for Ryanair to lower the cost base of Laudamotion. MOL said he cannot imagine overtaking an airline with a higher costs than Ryanair again ^^ For MOL Easyjet is already "history". https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_p?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://www.aerotelegr...

Re: Next destinations from WizzAir from Abu Dhabi?

hm why is it logic? I see different possibilities: a) they won't need 8 based AUH aircraft in Nov 6 in Abu because Wizz gonna put some of the eight mentioned flights into another day of the week b) they won't need 8 based aircraft, because they postpone the start some of the 8 destinations from Nov ...

Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread - 2021

alright. the more I think about it, the more could a merger/take-over with Easyjet make sense. Wizz being strong between Eastern and Western Europe. Easyjet having a quite big presence intra Central and Western Europe. Wizz wants to grow inside Western Europe anyway. And they want to have 500 planes...

Re: Next destinations from WizzAir from Abu Dhabi?

Wizz Abu Dhabi has now 4 aircraft, with one being parked in Al Ain. Currently there are only three planes in operation. In order to fulfill their schedule, from November on Wizz Abu Dhabi needs 8 ( ! ) based planes! The schedule on 6 November cannot be flown with less than 8 aircraft! Shown is the d...

Re: Ryanair News and Discussion Thread - 2021

Do you see them back to the Canaries in Spain via Buzz or Malta Air? hard to say. there may come a new opportunity. I remember FR got sued after closing the bases on the Canaries, lost the case, and had to pay a certain amount to former based employees. They may not want to come back soon ;). For a...

Re: *Video only* the high density MAX: 737-8-200 - the world's newest narrow body variant

Thanks for the report! Ryanair has completely removed any mention of that brand name, but somehow people knew. It can be easily noticed by the split winglets. But interestingly there is no "8-200" written on it, which was shown on photos previously. Interestingly, at Stansted passengers we...

Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread - 2021

I'm a novice when it comes to aircraft ... will the A321neo allow them to fly further? is it just a larger aircraft travelling the current distances? can it carry more AND travel further? On the paper the A321neo has 20% less fuel burn and a 500nautical mile additional range compared to the A321ceo...

Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread - 2021

The new Airbus order seems to become serious :) :) Wizz is in negotiation since months and it's about at least 100 new aircraft. "The talks come as Wizz expands beyond its Eastern European heartland". They gonna need it for AUH, Italy, UK and AOCs in ex-Soviet and Balkan countries. https:/...

ZAG is currently 6th in ex-Yugoslavia behind Belgrade, Pristina, Skopje, Dubrovnik and Split. The tourism in Split and Dubrovnik is developed. The second most served route from Belgrade is Vienna. By Air Serbia and Austrian. Looks like the airport doesn't want Ryanair and Wizz for this city pair......

Re: Next destinations from WizzAir from Abu Dhabi?

In the following week, after a months lasting break, Sofia will be served again. And there gonna be departures from Thessaloniki. The next big spike is going to be in the second week of October. By then, again after an absence for months, flights from KTW and CLJ gonna be back. And they're going to ...

Wizz wants 20 percent market share in Gatwick. Is it doable? https://www.linkpicture.com/q/Polish_20210907_105332306.png Ryanair said BA should sell their LGW slots to Easyjet and Wizz instead of building a new LCC in expensive Gatwick. So Ryanair might not be interested in growing there. More Wizz ...

Re: Ryanair News and Discussion Thread - 2021

I think many of these new deliveries will be used as a direct replacement of some older planes. Ryanair showed how many 737-800 they gonna phase out: https://www.linkpicture.com/q/Polish_20210906_183554948.png For the the upcoming years it's going to be 21 - 13 - 10 - 9 - 0. I expected more.

Re: Ryanair News and Discussion Thread - 2021

I guess he is referring to larger airports in Germany, I highly doubt airports like Weeze or Hahn charge as much as FRA or DUS. Yes that's the thing. Hahn and Weeze are small airports. Ryanair serves all the busiest airports in Italy, Spain, Portugal and UK – except LHR, but there are plenty altern...
