Ticker:  WIZZ

Geneva, 2 August 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most sustainable European airlines, announces passenger and CO₂ emission statistics for July 2024.

Operated capacity during the month was down 0.3% yoy, due to the impact of the GTF engine-related groundings, carrying 5.9 million passengers at a load factor of 93.8% (vs 94.9% last year).

During the month:

-       Wizz Air was named the Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline for the fourth consecutive year at the World Finance Sustainability Awards 2024.

-       While remaining one of the leading airlines in terms of lower emissions per passenger kilometer, in July CO₂/ RPK emission increased by 2.3% yoy, to 51.8 grams, due to the suboptimal fleet mix (older aircraft and lower gauge) resulting from the GTF engine-related grounding of the efficient A321neo fleet.

-       On 19 July, Wizz Air was impacted by the worldwide system outages caused by an external provider, disrupting ca. 1% of the company's scheduled flights in the month.
