About Wizz Air UK
WUK refers to Widerøe, a prominent regional airline in Norway.
Widerøe is the largest regional airline operating in the Nordic countries, established on February 19, 1934, by Norwegian aviator Viggo Widerøe and four friends. In its early days, the airline engaged in diverse general aviation activities, including air taxi, ambulance services, school transport, and aerial photography using seaplanes. Over the decades, it has grown significantly to become a cornerstone of Norwegian aviation, providing vital air connectivity, particularly to Norway's extensive coastline and remote communities. In January 2024, Norwegian Air Shuttle finalized its acquisition of Widerøe.
The airline's main operational bases are located in Bergen, Bodø, Oslo, Sandefjord, and Tromsø, with its headquarters situated in Bodø. Widerøe's fleet primarily consists of De Havilland Dash 8 turboprops, with about 40-47 aircraft across various series, including the Dash 8-100, Q100, Q200, Q300, and Q400. The airline also operates three modern Embraer 190-E2 jets, having been the launch operator for this aircraft type.
Widerøe operates an extensive route network, serving 49 to 56 domestic and international destinations. Its domestic network is crucial for regional connectivity in Norway, with a significant portion of its operations falling under public service obligation (PSO) contracts. Internationally, Widerøe offers services from various Norwegian airports to destinations in countries like Belgium, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. While Widerøe is not a member of any major global airline alliance, it maintains codeshare agreements with partners such as Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and Air France. The airline typically offers a single cabin class, featuring comfortable and spacious seating with a 2x2 layout. On its Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, which are used for longer flights, passengers benefit from 110 seats equipped with power outlets, and seat pre-reservation is available, included for "Flex" and "Full Flex" tickets.
