About Buzz

Buzz (ICAO: RYS) is a Polish low-cost airline operating as a subsidiary of the Irish Ryanair Holdings. The current iteration of Buzz was rebranded from Ryanair Sun in 2019 and primarily conducts scheduled and charter flights across Europe.

Buzz was originally a British low-cost airline founded in 1999 as a subsidiary of KLM, commencing operations in January 2000. It was later acquired by Ryanair in April 2003 and ceased operations by October 2004. The name "Buzz" was revived in 2019 when Ryanair rebranded its Polish subsidiary, Ryanair Sun, to Buzz. Ryanair Sun itself was established in 2017, initially focusing on charter flights. Buzz is now one of four airlines within the Ryanair Holdings Group, alongside Ryanair DAC, Ryanair UK, Malta Air, and Lauda Europe.

The airline is headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, and operates with multiple bases across Central and Eastern Europe. These operational bases include Bratislava, Budapest, Gdańsk, Katowice, Kaunas, Kraków, Poznań, Prague, Riga, Sofia, Vilnius, Warsaw–Modlin, and Wrocław. Buzz primarily operates a modern fleet consisting of Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 aircraft. As of late 2025, the Ryanair Group continued to expand its fleet, with new Boeing 737 MAX deliveries assigned to Buzz. The airline's route network encompasses both scheduled flights on behalf of its parent company, Ryanair, and charter flights to popular holiday destinations throughout Europe. It focuses on countries like Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Bulgaria, with aspirations to expand to regions such as the Canary Islands, Morocco, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Greece. Buzz is not a member of any major airline alliance. It offers a single cabin class, Economy Class, and its baggage policy does not include a free checked baggage allowance.

  • Punctuality and Efficiency: The airline is often praised for its on-time performance and smooth boarding processes.
  • Modern Aircraft: Travelers frequently note the use of modern aircraft, particularly the Boeing 737 MAX, contributing to a pleasant journey.
  • Cabin Cleanliness and Crew: Many reviews mention clean cabins and friendly, helpful cabin crew.

Common Complaints:

  • Limited Service and Amenities: As a low-cost carrier, Buzz offers minimal on-board services and amenities, with entertainment and Wi-Fi often rated as "well below" compared to other carriers.
  • Baggage Policy: The lack of free checked baggage allowance can be a point of dissatisfaction for some travelers.
  • Overall Service Perception: Some aggregated reviews indicate a perception of "weak service" compared to competing airlines, particularly concerning on-board sales and cabin crew interaction.

Safety Information

Buzz, as part of the Ryanair Group and operating under a Polish Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), adheres to stringent European aviation safety regulations. There is no indication of Buzz being on any EU safety blacklists.

  • Recent safety record and any notable incidents: One notable incident occurred on May 23, 2021, when Ryanair Flight 4978, operated by Buzz, was diverted to Minsk National Airport following a false bomb threat. This incident, while significant, was a security event external to the aircraft's operational safety. Despite this, travelers generally perceive Buzz to be a safe airline, similar to its parent company, Ryanair.
  • Regulatory certifications: Buzz holds a Polish Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) granted by the Polish Civil Aviation Authority, ensuring compliance with European aviation safety standards.
  • Fleet age and maintenance reputation: Buzz operates a relatively new fleet, largely composed of Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 aircraft, with deliveries of new MAX aircraft continuing as recently as August 2025. The youth of its fleet is generally a positive indicator for safety and reliability. As a subsidiary of Ryanair, its aircraft maintenance is expected to meet the high standards of the broader Ryanair Group.
  • Overall safety assessment: Based on available data, Buzz maintains a strong safety profile, benefiting from its modern fleet and adherence to rigorous European regulatory oversight. The notable incident involving the Minsk diversion was a security issue rather than a mechanical or operational safety failure.
  • Safety awards or recognitions: No specific safety awards or recognitions for Buzz were found in the provided search results.
