ULCCs are working to overcome significant headwinds with plans for improved liquidity and refined network strategies.

Generally, European LCCs are performing quite well, although this might be expected, given the efficient nature of the way they do business.

ULCC Wizz Air plans to open its second training center—located in Rome—in 2024.

Wizz Air said it would be restarting operations to Tel Aviv from Budapest, Sofia, Bucharest, Krakow, London, and Rome from the beginning of March.

A spokesperson for the antitrust authority AGCM said the investigation had closed without finding evidence of price-fixing on the routes investigated.

Ryanair has been denouncing the practices of many OTA websites for some time and calling for consumers to be better protected from them.

The sleeping aviation giant finally is waking up. It could be the next big thing for aerospace.

European carriers tack through myriad challenges.

Europe’s airline executives are watching the evolving travel trends closely for clues on how demand will play out in 2024.

Wizz Air suspended flights to Moldova’s capital Chisinau in March amid concerns about the safety of the country’s airspace.

The Budapest-based ULCC says it is extending leases, driving higher utilization and leaning on new deliveries to offset the impact of the GTF groundings.

While Ryanair Group and particularly Wizz Air Group are lowering emissions significantly, easyJet and Vueling are not keeping up.

Many airlines are suspending services to and from Tel Aviv as fighting between Israel and Hamas continues.

The move mirrors similar decisions by Ryanair and Wizz Air who have ordered large numbers of Boeing 737-10s and more A321neos, respectively.

Wizz Air is expanding bases in Albania, Italy, and Romania and plans to switch Scottish flights from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

Pratt & Whitney’s Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine woes have raised some big questions about how airlines will cope with related groundings.

Ryanair could benefit from Pratt & Whitney engine problems that will see hundreds of aircraft grounded for engine maintenance in the coming years, analysts say.

How airlines have adapted their maintenance cost strategies and planning to cope with unprecedented upheaval in the market.

Pratt & Whitney has been working for months to figure out how to schedule needed PW1100G repairs. The fleet management plan is painful for everyone involved.

The carrier has also begun to exchange several A321neos from its UAE joint venture Wizz Air Abu Dhabi with A321ceos.

Although Wizz Air has a fat order book for more Airbus A321neos, the LCC is under increased scrutiny in the UK and EU over operational issues.

Romania’s transport minister wants the European Union Aviation Safety Agency to enforce legislation related to Wizz Air’s flight operations there.

Even so, the company's year-to-date total of 381 deliveries means it is still behind schedule.

The Hungarian airline moved into profit for the first quarter (Q1) of its financial year thanks to soaring demand.

Wizz Air shareholders attending the Hungarian LCC’s Aug. 2 annual general meeting have voted in favor of buying a further 75 Airbus A321neo family aircraft.
