Senza aprire una nuova discussione, ho in mente da qualche giorno la stessa domanda circa Wizz Air (ed il suo piano di avere nel 2017 132 A320), di chi sono???
Tra due settimane dovrò viaggiare con loro e mi è venuta questa domanda.
Ma Wizz Air a chi appartiene, quale istituto di credito o società?, per pensare di arrivare a 132 A320 devono avere i portafogli pieni e sicuri.

The airline was established in September 2003. The lead investor is Indigo Partners, an American private equity firm [4] specializing in transportation investments. The first flight was made on 19 May 2004 from Katowice, 19 days after Poland and Hungary entered the European Union and the single European aviation market. The airline carried 250,000 passengers in its first three and a half months, almost 1.4 million passengers in the first year of operations and to date, 10 million passengers. In 2007 Wizz Air carried 2.8 million passengers on its Polish routes.
The airline's CEO and chairman is József Váradi, former CEO of Malév Hungarian Airlines. The company is registered in Pest County (Hungary)[5] with operating subsidiaries in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. Wizz Air Bulgaria was established in September 2005[6].
József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air, won the Ernst & Young award of the 'Brave Innovator' in 2007. The prize recognized the break through in the airline business in Hungary and the region, the business model and the business conduct of Wizz Air.[citation needed]
In summer 2008 Wizz Air became the first low cost carrier in Ukraine.[citation needed]

Financial Performance
While attempting to hasten SkyEurope's demise in June 2009, Wizz Air claimed it had been "profitable for several years".[7] However, as a private company it is not required to publish its financial accounts. In November 2009, it emerged Wizz Air is significantly loss making and has never made a profit while delaying the pay back of €32 million of debt by five years.[8] Losses since commencing operations total €78 million, which has fueled suggestions that the airline may file for bankruptcy.[9]
After the collapse of Flyglobespan in December 2009, Wizz Air was rated the European airline most likely to next go bust. This was according to a firm of bookmakers.[10]
