WIZZ AIR CARRIED 4.34 MILLION PASSENGERS, AN INCREASE OF 179% YEAR-ON-YEAR

 

Ticker:  WIZZ

 

Geneva, 4 July 2022: 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 June 2022.

 

In June 2022, Wizz Air carried 4,340,115 passengers, representing a 179%
increase compared to June 2021, at a load factor of 86.1%.

 

Wizz Air continued to grow its network and improve its customer offering in
June, including:

 

·      Wizz Air has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Airbus to explore the potential for hydrogen-powered aircraft operations. The
cooperation will allow Wizz Air to analyse the potential for highly efficient,
ultra-low-cost hydrogen powered operations.

·      Wizz Air also announced it will be returning to a systemic jet
fuel hedge policy. Given the sustained and ongoing volatility in commodity
prices Wizz Air has decided to reinstate a hedging policy and will be aligning
it to those of its peers. More detail on this announcement can be found at the
following link:

·      Wizz Air announced launching of new routes to Dammam, the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia from Rome, Vienna and Abu Dhabi. The new routes are a step
towards a growing presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which will offer
affordable, point-to-point travel for tourists and residents in the Kingdom,
Europe and the UAE.

·      Wizz Air continuously operates amongst the lowest CO(2) emissions
per passenger/km amongst all competitor airlines, with 59.6 grams per
passenger/km for the rolling 12 months to 30 June 2022. For the month of June,
CO(2) emissions in grams per passenger/km were 20.6% lower compared to same
