Buzz Introduces Boeing 737-8200 to Charter Flights

Ryanair began preparing to launch its standalone charter branch in Poland in spring 2017. Ryanair Sun commenced operations in summer 2018 with five Boeing 737-800 aircraft. In autumn 2019, rebranding took place, and the carrier adopted the name Buzz. Today, its fleet consists of 73 aircraft: 1x B737-700, 59x B737-800, and 13x B737-8200. The latter, with a capacity for 197 passengers and based on the 737 MAX 8 type, saw Ryanair distancing them from the MAX name several years ago. Until recently, these aircraft were exclusively used on regular flights by the parent company. Charter flights were served only by Boeing 737NG aircraft.

This unwritten rule ceased to apply on Wednesday, May 15th. On that day, Buzz deployed its first delivered Boeing 737-8200, registered as SP-RZA (serial number 62314, manufactured in 2021), on the rotation of charter flights from Poznan to Antalya, Bydhost, Antalya and back to Poznan.

Buzz flies clients of travel agencies to seaside destinations from airports across Poland, with the volume of flights increasing each year. Additionally, the carrier also caters to sports fans. For instance, on Tuesday, May 14th, Buzz operated flight 9124 with ice hockey fans from Ostrava to Stockholm using a Boeing 737-800.
