This may be more of a reflection of the routes affected all going head-to-head with Tui, who have 4 based B738s. The remaining routes are all in the Wizz heartlands.

And now a Saudi Arabian operation being proposed.

I see their share price being pounded regards flight cancellations and , imho, a potential basket case in the offing.

An interesting read! LBA to the north and EMA to the south. Despite what TUI May say closing the base there frees up aircraft and crews for MAN, BHX and to a lesser extent EMA!

Watch this space. Given TUI’s parlous financial state they may themselves have to undertake a UK base review given Germany is down to 16 aircraft from39!

Hopefully sets a precedence for PIK’s terminal to follow suit.
