New Aviation Market Flies Out
Of EU's Eastward Expansion
By MICHAEL CONNOLLY
March 7, 2007
The European Union's expansion to include eight former Communist countries three years ago has created an aviation hit -- airlines with fares low enough to rival the region's most popular mode of long-distance transport, the bus, to carry Eastern Europeans to Western Europe, and especially to vibrant labor markets in Britain and Ireland.
Wizz Air, an airline created by Hungarian entrepreneur Jozsef Varadi in late 2003 is a leader among several low-cost airlines that are carrying planeloads of Poles, Hungarians and others to Western Europe with one-way fares starting at about $26, including taxes, as Daniel Michaels reports. Today's airborne search for a better life follows the pattern of earlier labor migrations by steamship and rail. But compared with the great Irish and Italian emigrations to America over a century ago, today's immigrants aspire less to shed their national identities. They can stay constantly linked to their homelands via phone, mobile text-messaging and Internet connections, and those ties boost back-and-forth air traffic.
Within Europe, ethnic travel opportunities are huge because distances are relatively small, and significant expatriate communities are sprouting across the continent. Nearly one million Eastern Europeans have moved to Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and other countries since the EU expanded from 15 to 25 nations in 2004. That has helped make the Eastern European skies among the world's fastest-growing airline markets. Western Europe's no-frills giants Ryanair Holdings PLC and easyJet PLC also have belatedly joined the fray.
