STRONG APRIL TRAFFIC STATISTICS REFLECTS THE FAVOURABLE TIMING OF EASTER AND
A RETURN TO GROWTH

Ticker:  WIZZ 

 

Geneva, 2 May 2025: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most
sustainable European airlines, announces passenger and CO(2) emission
statistics for April 2025. 

 

Wizz Air carried 5.4 million passengers during the month of April, a 10.8%
increase year on year. Seat capacity increased 11.4% YoY, resulting in a load
factor of 89.8%, down 0.5ppt on last year's load factor of 90.3%.

 

During the month:

 

·      With Easter falling entirely in April this year, our new fiscal
year started strongly, with a seasonal increase in passenger numbers in the
month, as anticipated. We expect this seasonal effect to normalise in the
months ahead, consistent with historical trends.  While overall demand was
strong, load factor was modestly lower due to one-directional VFR traffic
patterns during the Easter holiday period.

·      The airline group launched its carbon roadmap. 'Flying Towards
Net Zero'. This focuses on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as a critical
decarbonization lever. This could deliver a further 25% reduction in emissions
by 2030.

·      Wizz Air continues to be one of the lowest emission airlines,
reporting a further decline in CO(2) emissions per RPK in April, down 2.5%
YoY, to 51.3 grams.
