Can't imagine that a Neo wouldn't be, and they were brilliant last winter at getting into LBA in fog . All the 737s seem to be getting in ok except one positioning flight from EMA.thats doing doughnuts at 8000 feet despite the Viz being 500m. according to FR24..

The 733 from EMA landed. A Ryanair just gone in and next up is the NEO from Bucharest OTP.

My understanding is that all Airbus aircraft are CAT3A/B certified and come as standard with the necessary avionics. The 737NG/MAX are similarly certified but the required avionics equipment is optional so many 737’s in service in practice aren’t CAT3 capable.

Wizz Air set to cut capacity due to engine inspections
11 Sept 2023 — European budget carrier Wizz Air could have to reduce capacity by 10 per cent over the next six months due to engine.

So do the cuts listed above amount to 10% ?

Whether they do or don't amount to 10% I am still of the opinion there is much more to this. I am sure engine issues are being used as a convenient excuse. I so hope I am wrong, but..........

 

[lbaspotter]

The axed Leeds/Bradford to Wroclaw route has now officially been removed from the Wizz Air website.

 

[Finger66]

Just hope it doesn't reappear More Moving East!

Do we no how the route was performing?

 

[YorkshireLad]

Do we no how the route was performing?

When I did my detailed CAA stats earlier in the year it was Wizz's worst performing route from LBA

Wizz have announced a profit of €523m in the first 6 months of the 23/24 fiscal year, and have secured substantial damages regarding the problems with P&W jet engines in their NEOs. As a result if this, they will have 45 NEO aircraft grounded at the start of 2024, and the disruption is expected to continue in to 2025, with little growth forecast, although they are due to take delivery of 24 new NEOs over the next 12 months.

 

[Finger66]

Profit indeed but will be interested to know how many CCJs etc. are still outstanding as suspect those could put a big hole in that figure. Still not convinced we have the full story here but hope I am wrong and more than happy to be proved so

Here you go finger66…..l

 

[Finger66]

Not as big a hole as I thought but still not great. As I have said happy to be proven wrong here re Wizz...........
