Wizz Air is in talks with airports across Europe to acquire slots from airlines that may become insolvent, said Chief Corporate Officer Owain Jones at the World Aviation Festival in Lisbon.
The carrier views Middle and Eastern Europe as its core market, has withdrawn from the Middle East and plans to grow in Italy and open new bases in Spain in the coming weeks, while analysts warn that high fuel prices and geopolitical uncertainty could push weaker airlines into bankruptcy, freeing routes and slots.
