Wizz Air UK launches flights
Wizz Air has secured its UK AOC and operating license, paving the way for Wizz Air UK to launch flights May 3. Wizz Air UK has been created to protect Wizz Air from route-right uncertainty, as the UK prepare to leave the EU. Other major European LCCs, like EasyJet and Ryanair, have followed a similar strategy. For the time being, Wizz Air UK has been established as a wholly owned subsidiary of EU-owned Wizz Air Holdings. This may ultimately need to change, depending on post-Brexit airline ownership requirements. “While Wizz Air UK is a key part of our Brexit contingency plan, it is also the first genuine ultra-LCC licensed in the UK and the natural next-step in the development of our UK business,” Wizz Air CE József Váradi said. <br/>
