Wizz Air Challenges Transatlantic Market with Bold U.S. Flight Permit Application AviationNews – European budget giant Wizz Air has officially filed for flight rights to the United States, signaling a major expansion into the competitive transatlantic market. This move marks a significant strategic pivot for the carrier as it seeks to bring its low-cost model to long-haul routes. The airline's move follows years of speculation regarding its global ambitions beyond its traditional European and Middle Eastern footprint.

#OS736 already left #TGD with a delay. But with a tarmac stand in #VIE and a non-Schengen to Schengen transfer by bus there wasn’t even a chance to catch the next flight to Berlin. On the plus side: 250 EUR more and time for some Austrian dessert. #flightrights #avgeek #paxex

Out of curiosity:

what might be the reason to cancel one flight and operate another, yet heavily delayed flight, with a similar flight number?

Are passengers entitled to two compensation payments? One for the cancellation, one for the delay?
