It was. It became Buzz (Stansted) Ltd. A UK carrier - thus able to fly to places like Prague, which at the time was non-EU.
Having had a quick search it would appear that Buzz closed down in October 2004. In line with various 'Eastern' European countries having joined the EU.

Shame really. They were a good LCC. I had a great flight STN-HEL with them.
