Many airlines are currently expanding at Vienna International Airport. Including the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz. The founder of Wizz-Air, Jozsef Varadi, thinks the market is overheating here. This is for the benefit of consumers. But he believes that in two years, there will be more suppliers, said the head of the airline in the "Kurier" and in the "Kronen Zeitung".
"We will do everything to be one of the winners." Varadi also thinks that the AUA (Austrian Airlines) is going through a difficult period. "The AUA has been very comfortable up to now and the Lufthansa group has a monopoly in Vienna, which is changing, the low-cost airlines are going to succeed, we'll see what happens with Laudamotion, what happens with the level and we will see a weaker Lufthansa group, "suspects the Hungarian boss Wizz.
That the AAU can withstand the competition against low-cost airlines is not a question for him. "Since AUA is a member of the Lufthansa group, it is not a question of survival, it is a question of size, and the AUA will have to reduce and reduce its manpower to remain intact", advance the boss of Wizz in the mail. In the past, the AAU has never behaved financially well.
"The pilots receive a local salary"
The director denies that Wizz is the cost manager because the employees are paid according to the Hungarian collective agreements. "Only the competition says it, our pilots in Vienna get the local salary." Each employee in Austria will be paid according to Austrian contracts and salary standards. "We pay our Austrian pilots more than Eurowings." The labor costs accounted for less than 10% of total costs at Wizz Air, not just in Austria. "But we take a plane 12.5 hours a day, the AUA only seven."
It is possible that Wizz will soon fly to other Austrian airports. Good conversation man. In Vienna, Varadi wants to go from 500 to 1,000 employees and from 10 to 15 planes in five years.
