JANUARY 2024 TRAFFIC AND

CO2 EMISSION STATISTICS

WIZZ AIR CARRIED 4.7 MILLION PASSENGERS,

AN INCREASE OF 14% YEAR-ON-YEAR

Ticker:  WIZZ

Geneva, 2 February 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), the fastest
growing and one of the most sustainable European airlines, today announces
passenger and CO(2) emission statistics for January 2024.

In January 2024, Wizz Air carried 4,740,815 passengers, representing a 14.2%
increase year-on-year, at a load factor of 82.0% (primarily attributable to an
increase in one-directional VFR traffic and the reallocation of capacity in
response to evolving geopolitical events). Wizz Air is actively implementing
measures to optimize our network and adapt to these dynamic conditions, with
the aim of enhancing efficiency and supporting a recovery in load factors
going forward.

The airline continued to grow its network and improve its customer offering in
January. During the month:

·      Wizz Air reinstated flights between Aqaba (Jordan) and Abu Dhabi,
starting from 4(th) February.

·      Wizz Air announced it will restart operations into Tel Aviv, with
routes from Budapest, Sofia, Bucharest, Krakow, London and Rome opening from
the beginning of March.

·      The UK's Civil Aviation Authority confirmed Wizz Air is fully
compliant with commitments made to customers.

·      Wizz Air continues to consistently report the lowest CO(2)
emissions per passenger/km among competitor airlines, with 51.8 grams per
passenger/km for the rolling 12 months to 31 January 2024. For the month of
January, CO(2) emissions were 54.9 grams per passenger/km (7.2% higher than
the same month last year).
