Geneva, 2 July 2024: Wizz
Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most sustainable European
airlines, announces passenger and CO2 emission
statistics for June 2024.
Capacity operated during the month
was up 0.4% yoy, given the continuing impact of GTF engine-related
groundings and June's load factor was
down 0.6ppts yoy (at 91.7%) on passenger numbers of 5.3
million, with this reflecting a focus on
overall revenue management.
For Q1 F25, seat capacity was up
0.7% yoy to 16.86 million, while passenger numbers were up 0.5% yoy
to 15.35 million.
During the month:
- While
remaining one of the leading airlines in terms of lower emissions
per passenger kilometer, the month of June saw a 4.2% increase yoy
in CO2/RPK to 53.6 grams. This reflected the retention of older
planes and the wet lease of smaller gauge aircraft to maintain
Wizz's network footprint while aircraft are grounded due to GTF
engine inspections.
- Wizz's total fleet count was 218 aircraft on 30 June 2024, up
from 208 at the end of March.
- Airbus
updated the market on its revised manufacturing output on 25 June
2024. While the airline's long-term growth plan remains unchanged,
Wizz anticipates that this could impact the scheduled fleet program
in the coming years, as previously indicated.
