Wizzair, another low-cost carrier operating at Modlin in the early days of the airport, had taken the decision to move all of its flights to Warsaw-Chopin even before Modlin Airport was closed.

The reason for that was the airline’s discontentment with the lack of Instrument Landing System (ILS) allowing landing in difficult weather conditions, which caused major disruption in Wizzair’s operations in Modlin.

In the summer 2013, Wizzair expressed the intention of remaining at Warsaw-Chopin airport permanently. In other words Wizzair is not planning to return to the reopened low cost Warsaw Modlin Airport.
