I am very dissapointed that they've cancelled their Bergamo (Milan) - Warsaw flight just two months after its start!!! Anyway it seems very strange that they did cancel Milan, as they were the only low cost carriers flying the route. May be they were suffering from competition from LOT and Alitalia,...

There is an airport close to Brescia, but it is quite far from Milan (too far)... I think that they are making huge amounts of money by flying out of Bergamo. May be they are just trying to scare Bergamo airport. One has to remember that Bergamo has a lot of charter traffic and also other low cost a...

IF everything is true I am happy for them. As I said in the other topic they do seem to have a better business model than Skyeurope. They only fly one plane (the A320, Skyeurope flies two, the 737-500 and a turboprop Embraer) and they only fly to secondary and therefore cheaper airports. Let's hope ...

Let's hope to see a new Warsaw-Milan low cost route soon too. Skyeurope is pulling out of it as of Jan 10th and I really can understand why, since they had no competition from others low cost carriers on that route! Instead they've kept flights from Krakow (where they are competing with Wizzair flyi...

Why didn't Skyeurope publish on its web site that it was concerned with Airpolonia.com impeding bankrupcy? Was it a plot to let people book with Airpolonia (and not with Wizzair) so that then Skyeurope would carry them once it decleared bankrupcy... (for free?? let see if it is really going to be fo...

So in the end Airpolonia went bankrupt, not (up until today at least) Wizzair. So why did Skyeurope and the press make such a fuss about Wizzair when the real problem was Airpolonia (which nobody mentionned)? It seems clear that all this fuss was because they knew they were the only two left and the...

re

SkyEurope is correct, Wizz needs $40 million and got only $3 million up to now like it seems. This makes a total of $28 million which also means they are still $12 million short. Even the aiport still needed money from them and warned them if they should not pay the "gate" is closed for t...
