Ticker:  WIZZ  

 

Geneva, 5 January 2026: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air") reports strong
December 2025 growth today and a range of important strategic developments
during the month, which further strengthens its product-enhancing and regional
densification strategies.

 

Wizz Air carried 5.85m million passengers in December, a 15.5% increase
year-on-year, with capacity rising 16.3% to 6.81 million seats. The load
factor for the month was 85.9%, down 0.6ppts year-over-year.

 

During the month:  

 

·      "4 to the power of 15": Wizz Air's network densification strategy
saw four announcements in December in which a 15(th) aircraft will be added to
the existing based fleets for the Summer '26 season at Luton, Rome Fiumicino,
Tirana and Warsaw-Chopin Airport.

·      Regional footprint further advanced: Wizz Air's CEE footprint was
expanded further with the official reopening of Targu Mures base in Romania
(December 15(th)) with one aircraft and the opening of its Warsaw-Modlin base
(December 1(st)) with two A321neos.

·      Distribution channels strengthened: On December 4th, Wizz Air
announced its partnership with Kyte to open its 3(rd) party distribution
platform to the corporate travel market. This follows the distribution
agreement signed with Travelfusion in August, the world's largest flight
content aggregator.

·      NIS2 compliance: Wizz Air has demonstrated cyber resilience under
the new EU NIS2 framework. In its inaugural pre-audit regarding these
stringent regulations, the airline achieved a 97% score, securing the highest
