AUGUST TRAFFIC GROWTH IMPRESSES BUT

CO(2) DATA STANDS OUT

Ticker:  WIZZ  

 

Geneva, 2 September 2025: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most
sustainable and fastest-growing European airlines, today reports accelerated
traffic growth and record-low emissions intensity for August 2025.  

 

Wizz Air carried 6.91 million passengers during the month of August, an 11.4%
increase year on year. Seat capacity increased 12.1% year on year, with a
resilient load factor of 94.8%, down only -0.60 ppt on last year's load factor
of 95.4%, demonstrating continued strong demand.

 

During the month:  

 

·     Wizz Air continues to be one of the lowest emission airlines in
August, reporting a further decline in CO(2) emissions per RPK to 49.6 grams,
down -2.5% year on year. This is only the second time in the last seven years
that Wizz Air has delivered a number below 50 grams per RPK (Feb. 2023) and
highlights the growing beneficial impact of its A321 neo deliveries, enhancing
long-term cost discipline and sustainability leadership.

·     While the last originating service from its to-be-closed Abu Dhabi
base flew on August 31(st), Wizz Air continues to rebuild its Tel Aviv station
following the Summer suspension, with a full service of 24 routes to be
deployed by mid-September. This underscores flexibility and resilience.

·     On August 19(th), Wizz Air announced a strategic distribution
partnership with Travelfusion, the world's largest flight content aggregator,
which will help WIZZ better reach the 45% of travellers in Europe who still
prefer to book through a retail channel (source: GBTA Business Travel Index
Outlook report 2024), positioning Wizz Air for incremental revenue growth and
expanded market reach.
