Geneva, 4 June 2024: Wizz
Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most sustainable European
airlines, today announces passenger and
CO2 emission statistics for May 2024.
In May 2024, Wizz Air carried
5,130,316 passengers at a load factor of 91.0%. Capacity operated
during the month was up 1.2% yoy, reflecting the continuing impact
of GTF engine-related groundings. The load factor improved by
0.7ppts versus last year, reflecting strong management action in
balancing passenger volumes and yield progression.
During the month:
- Wizz Air celebrated the 20th anniversary of its
first flight from Katowice to London Luton which took place in May
2004.
- Wizz Air was named Best Low-Cost Airline in Central and
Eastern Europe and was recognized for the Best Cabin Crew from
passengers in the region, at the CEESAR awards.
- For the month of May, CO2 emissions were 52.9 grams per passenger/km. This is 1.5%
higher than the same month last year, given suboptimal fleet mix
due to the A321neo groundings.
