Disregard what I said there. The line would be Riyadh to Central Oman. Then Oman's Airspace including Muscat is open.

Obviously UAE is heavily restricted.

Yeslam. I think there are restrictions around Dammam. I believe that North Eastern Saudi Airspace is closed. Riyadh is fully open. There's a lot of GPS jamming going on. Probably to stop drones.

If you say that a line from Riyadh to Muscat is open and then West of that line is all open, I think that's about right.

Muscat is currently open. I'd have thought that European government's were bussing people from Dubai/Abu Dhabi to Muscat and Chartering Wizz to get them out.

There has to be an absolutely massive repatriation job. Presumably, Wizz will be a big player in that with it's current redundant Aircraft.

The Skies are so quiet now without Emirates, Qatar and Etihad.

Runner: Don't worry about being wrong. We're all always wrong. The market doesn't allow us to be right. We make a best guess, We're optimistic and we know that this company has one of the best business models out there. It will deliver handsomely in the future.

Anon, if you look at the Q3 earnings report, they say at that time Wizz were 83% hedged to the end of F26 and 55% hedged to the end of F27.

Pogo, you change argument every time you realise that you're wrong. At one time Wizz couldn't survive Ryanair competition (total nonsense), now it's falsified accounts (I presume that's total nonsense).

Pogo, you've never been particularly right regarding Wizz. You write these long posts but when the share price heads above £12 you disappear.

Teddy. That's for sure. It doesn't change my view that Wizz will be a great long term investment. LCC's generally ride recessions reasonably well.

The fuel hedge is important.

Only 3 months ago we'd have considered this a really good price. Given the sell off by Indigo and the geopolitics, this isn't bad.

Another point regarding the article. I'm sure Wizz won't be cancelling flights to Saudi Arabia. It's only Jeddah and Medina. Both of those airports are completely open.

Nice story Frank. There's too many if's though. There'll be huge demand for Wizz Air's services to repatriate the 100,000+ people stranded in the Middle East when the Airports fully open.

Oil Prices are not spiking, probably because strategic reserves are being usesd. Wizz are currently 83% hedged in any case.

There'll be lower demand for middle and far East vacations for the summer. Higher demand for European vacations. That'll benefit Wizz and be detrimental to Qatar, Emirates and Etihad.

All of this including your, very interesting article, are just speculation. Long term Wizz will be a great investment.

Etihad have begun at least some flights out of Abu Dhabi.

Total codswallop Pogo. I can tell you that Wizz, Ryanair, Easyjet and the Aircraft I fly will be 90%+ full this summer. People have an inate desire to travel. There are currently 20% fewer Aircraft in the World than the Airlines would like to have.

I don't think fuel price will have an immediate impact for Wizz. Wizz are a minimum of 83% hedged for March.

The flight cancellations will have some effect but I don't think that they're required to pay compensation because this is force majeure.

There'll definitely be a sentiment driven sell off but honestly it's just another opportunity to buy. We know that mid teens is the right place for the Wizz share price at the moment.

Once Wizz gets that £250 net profit the only thing holding institutional investors back will be the debt rating, which I understand is very restrictive. Once that is upgraded we're off and running like 2021🤞.

Johnbri. As an inexperienced investor, I'm still under the delusion that the share price is in some way correlated to the profits or revenue. Wizz Air's revenue keeps growing (generally, slowly this year).

I understand your 3-4 year point but I have FOMO. We saw the H1 26 operating profit surprise the market (€439m). It was tempered by potential slowing revenues and estimated full year profits of break even to a small loss. That €439m could possibly be €700m for H27 and make an F27 profit of £250m.

In the first period of real profit growth the share price will rise very significantly. IMHO 10× forward earnings would be conservative. That would make the share price £25.

I'm not predicting this but it can easily happen. And as I said, I have FOMO.

I understand the bearish institutional warnings:

● Ryanair competition (I totally dismiss this argument)

●Decreasing sale/Leaseback profits

●Decreasing compensation

So there are headwinds but at some point the profit will surprise. It doesn't have to be in 4 years. It maybe in 9 months. And I want to be in when it happens.

It's too late for me to reply to that John. I have to go to Hong Kong first thing tomorrow. Good luck with IAG.

By the way, I don't think anyone follows me. I just post what I think. Hopefully we'll all have nailed it with Wizz in a few years.

You see Pogo, this is where you + Johnbri and I fundamentally disagree.

In my opinion, nothing in the Airline industry is short term. You plan and invest in the very long term. You'll never see a press conference with your buddy, MOL, where he doesn't discuss Ryanair’s plans for 10 years into the future. This is because this is how the Airline industry works. You order an A321-NEO today, it'll arrive in 2035. You plan your capacity needs based on forecast growth of economies, and other factors.

If you ask any Airline CEO what his biggest constraint on growth is right now, he'll tell you it's slow delivery of modern jets.

Wizz is in a great position but the plans will take another 3-4 years to bear fruit.
