Wizz Air boss looks to Brexit as an opportunity to grow
The boss of Wizz Air said he did not expect Brexit to disrupt his operations, and that it could actually present an opportunity to grow as competitors fall away. CE Jozsef Varadi said that Wizz Air's UK subsidiary had all permits that would be needed to operate flights between Britain and EU member countries, as well as nations. The carrier founded Wizz Air UK in 2017 as a contingency to ensure full market access to Britain beyond Brexit. "If a no-deal Brexit happens Oct 31, I don't think you as a customer would notice when it comes to flying Wizz Air," Varadi said. "Possibly further consolidation opportunities would arise as a result of Brexit and Wizz Air UK can become a consolidating platform in the UK," he added. "We would be interested in backfilling market gaps if airlines go down". <br/>
