[IanFarquharson]

It maybe just a timetable change, I think Ants post should be taken down until we know officailly.

From what I gather your post was factually correct and shouldn't have been deleted, however for future reference it is always best to say "believed to be" if there is any doubt.

Yes I agree, should never say 'ending' until the airline have confirmed, for all we know and hopefully this maybe a website update.

Even "Wizz air appear to have taken xxx routes off-sale"....this is a factual observation. Its doesn't preclude them being added back etc. But "Wizz air WILL end the following routes on the following dates" is more certain than anyone knows...

 

[nwoody2001]

...and to emphasis the point, it would indeed this routes were not cancelled...

BHX-OTP and BHX-SCV are now back on sale for Summer 2027, thought not available over winter.... so things are clearly fluid!

Lessons need to be learned here - DO NOT post on Social Media such as X until you know the whole story, DO NOT guess, it can do a lot of damage.

The Wizz Air chap wasn't kidding when he said they're looking at cutting capacity to the UK due to APD.

Rome seemed inevitable and four on the route always felt a bit too saturated. Hopefully easyjet, Ryanair and Jet2 will now see improved yields.

Leaving Bucharest to just Ryanair felt a little odd as it seems a strong route for Wizz.

Great to see Suceava isn't lost 👍

I can't speak for BHX, but at LBA Ryanair has higher loads than Wizz for Bucharest (similar pax figures but Wizz has more capacity). However I do always say it's so much better for the market if both airlines stay on the route, the size really does surprise me and Ryanair rarely fulfil the full market potential on their own

We need polish and Romanian expansion from wizz

They have tried loads of routes over year to Poland and chopped them all, the routes remaming are Romanian !

Where would look at Ian?

North Africa,Egypt,Cyprus?

How can they with no base ?

From those countries?

I.E larnaca

They announced LCA before and like TIA it never started.
They dont have bases in Egypt or North Africa so no options here for BHX

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

What you recommend Ian?

Or do you feel wizz are giving up on airports like Birmingham

 

[Ray Finkle]

Agadir - Jet2, Ryanair, easyjet, TUi

Marrakesh - Jet2, Ryanair, easyet, TUi

Enfidha - Jet2, easyjet

Hurghada - Jet2, easyjet, TUi

Sharm-El-Sheikh - Jet2, easyjet, TUi

Larnaca - Jet2, easyjet, TUi

Paphos - Jet2, Ryanair, TUi

These destinations seem pretty well covered to me, I'm not sure that adding a Wizz service and potentially diluting yields would be beneficial?

Hopefully when/if the world sorts itself out we'll see Wizz add flights from their bases in Central and Eastern Europe, there are plenty of decent options.
