I was just browsing airliners.net and found a picture and internet site for a new low cost airline in Europe – Wizz Air
Wizz Air will be a new low cost airline based in Central Europe with its first bases of Budapest, Hungary and Katowice, Poland. Wizz Air will start operations from Budapest and Katowice to more than 10 destinations in Europe.
The launch of the 10 new services will coincide with the accession of ten CEE countries with a combined population of 70 million into the European Union.
W!zz Air’s maiden flight should be in May from Katowice and flights able to book from March / April.
The Wizz Air fleet will initially comprise of 180-seat A320 aircraft. Wizz Air has plans to have nine A320s operational by the end of the year, and to become the largest operator in the region in 2005 with 20 planes.
A confirmed destination to be served so far is Brussels Charleroi.
Here is the link to a photo of the plane – im warning you now, the colours are bright purple and pink!

What do people think about this? Will W!zz Air be able to compete with Sky Europe and Air Polonia?

the livery’s different… not as bad as I feared when I read they were pink and purple, anyway… although I think I’ll reserve judgement till I see it in the flesh, and lighting could play a part too… look at the Helvetic F100’s…
LGKR, it says the 320 in the a.net pic was formerly operated by ACES Colombia, presumabley that’s where most of them will come from, either from ACES, or whomever they’d leased them from…
