Geneva, 2 August 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most
sustainable European airlines, announces passenger and
CO2 emission statistics for July 2024.
Operated capacity during the month
was down 0.3% yoy, due to the impact of the GTF engine-related
groundings, carrying 5.9 million passengers at a load factor of
93.8% (vs 94.9% last year).
During the month:
- Wizz Air was named the Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline for
the fourth consecutive year at the World Finance Sustainability
Awards 2024.
- While remaining one of the leading airlines in terms of lower
emissions per passenger kilometer, in July CO2/ RPK
emission increased by 2.3% yoy, to 51.8 grams, due to the
suboptimal fleet mix (older aircraft and lower gauge) resulting
from the GTF engine-related grounding of the efficient A321neo
fleet.
- On 19 July, Wizz Air was impacted by the worldwide system
outages caused by an external provider, disrupting ca. 1% of the
company's scheduled flights in the month.
