Here is comprehensive information about Buzz (ICAO: RYS) airline.
Buzz, with ICAO code RYS, is a Polish airline that operates as a subsidiary of the Ryanair Holdings plc group. It was initially founded in 2018 as Ryanair Sun S.A. and later rebranded as Buzz in 2019. The airline’s primary operational base is located at Warsaw Chopin Airport in Warsaw, Poland. As part of the larger Ryanair Group, Buzz contributes to Europe's largest airline group by passenger volume, fleet size, and number of flight routes.
The fleet predominantly consists of Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with some sources also mentioning a single Boeing 737-700. Buzz's route network focuses on charter and scheduled flights throughout Central and Eastern Europe. This is integrated into Ryanair's extensive network, which spans over 240 destinations across more than 40 countries in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, with nearly 3,000 daily flights during peak seasons.
Buzz, like its parent company Ryanair, is not a member of any major global airline alliances such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. The airline operates under a low-cost model, with Ryanair offering fare options like "Economy Class" and "Business Plus." The "Business Plus" fare provides benefits such as ticket flexibility, a larger checked baggage allowance, priority boarding, and premium seating.
Traveler reviews for airlines operating under the Ryanair Holdings group, including Buzz, often highlight a clear trade-off between low fares and the overall travel experience.
What Travelers Love:
Common Complaints:
Overall sentiment indicates that while Ryanair (and by extension, Buzz) is a popular choice for its unmatched low prices, travelers should be prepared for a no-frills experience and must carefully account for all potential additional fees to avoid surprises. The airline is generally seen as a practical option for short-haul travel where cost is the primary concern.
Buzz, as part of Ryanair Holdings, maintains a strong and reassuring safety record. The Ryanair Group has never had a fatal crash in its operating history, spanning over 38 years. This impressive record is a cornerstone of its safety assessment.
In terms of regulatory certifications, Ryanair (and its subsidiaries) are subject to Irish and EU aviation regulations. While AirlineRatings.com previously noted Ryanair was not certified with the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), the global rating agency later awarded Ryanair a top seven-star safety rating in 2020. Neither Buzz nor Ryanair appear on the EU Air Safety List, which bans airlines that fail to meet international safety standards from operating in European airspace.
The group's fleet, largely composed of Boeing 737-800 and newer Boeing 737 MAX 8200 aircraft, has an average age of approximately 9.4 years, which is below the market average. Ryanair has a reputation for exceptionally well-maintained aircraft, understanding the critical importance of safety and reliability. The airline has also invested significantly in spare engines and robust training programs for its pilots.
Based on available data, the overall safety assessment for Buzz, operating under the Ryanair Group's stringent standards, is highly positive. Ryanair was ranked 3rd in AirlineRatings.com's World's Safest Low-Cost Airlines for 2024. These accolades and its fatality-free operational history underline its commitment to safety and operational excellence.
