-       Wizz Air continues to be one of the leading airlines in lowering emissions, reporting a further decline in CO₂ 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.
