Geneva, 2 October 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most sustainable European airlines, announces passenger and CO2 emission statistics for September 2024.
Wizz Air carried 5.76 million passengers during the month of September, up 3.9% year on year. Seat capacity was up 4.8% YoY, despite the Pratt & Whitney GTF engine-related groundings, resulting in a load factor of 91.7%, down 70bps on last year's 92.4%.
For Q2 F25, seat capacity was up 1.2% YoY to 19.11 million, while passenger numbers increased 1.1% YoY to 17.90 million.
During the month:
- Wizz Air announced the launch of its first routes to be flown by the airline's new Airbus A321XLR (Extra Long Range) aircraft. Daily London Gatwick-Jeddah and daily Milan Malpensa-Abu Dhabi services are due to commence next summer.
- Wizz Air's passenger growth rate of 3.9% YoY is the strongest recorded in the calendar year to date.
- While still one of the leading airlines in terms of lower emissions per passenger kilometer, September saw CO2/ RPK emission increase by 2.5% YoY, to 52.3 grams. This reflected the suboptimal fleet mix (older aircraft and lower gauge) due to the GTF engine-related grounding of Wizz Air's efficient A321neo fleet.
