Geneva, 2 May 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most sustainable European airlines, today announces passenger and CO2 emission statistics for April 2024.
In April 2024, Wizz Air carried 4,911,849 passengers at a load factor of 90.3%. The capacity operated during the month was nearly flat year-on-year, reflecting the impact from GTF engine-related grounded fleet. Load factor came in slightly lower vs last year (-0.6 pp), impacted by the earlier Easter weekend causing the seasonal rise in outbound travel to fall in the prior month.
The airline continued to improve its network and customer offering in April. During the month:
- Wizz Air converted its entire London Luton Airport based fleet to the Airbus A321neo aircraft a year earlier than planned.
- Wizz Air announced its new aspirational target of powering 10% of its flights with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030. The new goal will support Wizz Air's commitment to reduce its carbon emissions per passenger/km by 25% by 2030.
- Wizz Air continues to consistently report the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger/km among competitor airlines, with 52.1 grams per passenger/km for the rolling 12 months to 30 April 2024. For the month of April, CO2 emissions were 52.6 grams per passenger/km (2.4% higher than the same month last year, due to the grounding of a portion of the GTF-engine powered fleet).
