FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN LOADS AND CO2 EMISSIONS SEEN IN FEBRUARY TRAFFIC
STATISTICS

Ticker:  WIZZ

Geneva, 4 March 2025: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most
sustainable European airlines, announces passenger and CO(2) emission
statistics for February 2025.

Wizz Air carried 4.6 million passengers during the month of February, a 5.1%
increase year on year. Seat capacity was up 3.0% YoY, resulting in a load
factor of 91.8%, up 1.8ppts on last year's load factor of 90.0%.

During the month:

-     The yield environment and booking profile in February and March
remained positive but moderated compared to the January year-on-year
improvement.

-     Further, Wizz Air is observing better than expected revenue trends
for F26 Q1 vs the prior year, underpinning a stronger start to F26.

-       Wizz Air continues to be one of the leading airlines in lowering
emissions, reporting a further decline in CO(2) emissions per RPK in February,
down 2.2% YoY, to 50.3 grams.

-       The negotiations on engine selection remain ongoing but are seen
as making positive progress as Wizz Air seeks the best outcome for its
operations and the Group.
