Geneva, 4 June 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most sustainable European airlines, today announces passenger and CO₂ emission statistics for May 2024.

In May 2024, Wizz Air carried 5,130,316 passengers at a load factor of 91.0%. Capacity operated during the month was up 1.2% yoy, reflecting the continuing impact of GTF engine-related groundings. The load factor improved by 0.7ppts versus last year, reflecting strong management action in balancing passenger volumes and yield progression.

During the month:

-       Wizz Air celebrated the 20^th anniversary of its first flight from Katowice to London Luton which took place in May 2004.

-       Wizz Air was named Best Low-Cost Airline in Central and Eastern Europe and was recognized for the Best Cabin Crew from passengers in the region, at the CEESAR awards.
