With one comment: will the WizzAir A319s have two emergency exits over the wings, like the easyJet ones?

Yes it will.

The A319 is certified for 145 pax with only one emergency exit door over the wing. Easyjet currently flies the A319 with 156 seats which is the same amount of seats the A319's of Wizz air will have.

BTW what I've heard is that Easyjet will remove the last row in their A319's; This will be done since they need 1 FA for every 50 seats in the plane. By removing those 6 seats they'll be able to carry one FA less.

I just wonder which additional routes they will add to their network.

If you take additional Aircraft, you should extend yr network or start flying with higher frequencies on the existing routes.

Anybody an idea ? More routes or increase frequencies ?

ATTN TBSC : the 3 additional a/c are they brandnew ?

Any idea which MSN and which leasing company ?

All V2500 powered I supposed, in order not to have a Mixed Engine Fleet

Oh please let them fly to some Dutch airport from WAW, Rotterdam or AMS. Would fill in the gap left by Sky Europe (although I wonder how much of a gap it is, those planes were not very full).

Well to be honest I would like to see them add some new routes from

Charleroi, CRL.

-PMI ?

-ATH ?

-LTN ?

Any other interesting destinations for CRL ??

What I would like Wizz Air to do, is to make sure that their 2 destinations from CRL can be reached a little earlier in the day. I was going to fly Wizz Air to BUD, until I saw that I would arrive there a little before midnight. No thanks, Wizz Air.

Wizz is the company of the ex-malev chief Jozsef Varadi (partly owned by him). Anyway we, here in Hungary, just smile on these issues, because everybody here thought, that by this time Wizz is dead, and still as I know, the financial situation of the company is not too good.

Anyway, I wish them the best.
