Mar 15, 2019 (newstodate): Norway lost its Busy Bee in 1992. Now the "bee" is moving to Poland from this autumn - sort of, at least...
   Set up in Poland as a subsidiary of Ryanair with the first flight on April 26, 2018, Ryanair Sun is to flag a happy bee on its aircraft tails and adopt a new, own brand name Buzz to separate is more distinctively from the low-cost mother airline.
   Starting out with five Ryanair Sun aircraft, Buzz will be operating a fleet of 17 Boeing 737-800 aircraft on Polish register, increasing to 25 aircraft in summer 2019 already.
   The airline's core business is operating flights for Polish tour operators, exploiting the void left by the demise of Small Planet Airlines Poland.
   Buzz is thus now Poland's third-largest charter carrier, after Enter Air and Travel Service trading under the SmartWings brand.
   While a new brand name in Poland, Buzz is actually a revival of Buzz - a carrier set up in 1999, launched by KLM as a sub-brand of KLM UK to compete with other low-cost carriers such as EasyJet, Go Fly and Ryanair by taking over many of the point-to-point routes of the former AirUK/KLM UK network.
   It operated from 2000 till 2004 as a subsidiary of KLM and later Ryanair.
