Operational growth and sustainability progress
According to Világgazdaság, Wizz transported 4.93 million passengers in January 2025, marking a 4% year-over-year increase despite a 0.8% reduction in seat capacity. The airline’s improving load factor—rising steadily since November 2024—aligns with reduced emissions per revenue passenger kilometre (RPK), reflecting fleet modernisation efforts.
Market response
Wizz Air’s London-listed shares rose 1.5% to 1,257 pence following the announcements, though year-to-date performance remains down 11.5% amid broader industry volatility. This dual strategy of targeted promotions and operational efficiency underscores Wizz Air’s push to balance growth with sustainability in the competitive European low-cost aviation sector.
