Wizz Air Holdings Plc., stylized as W!ZZ, is a Hungarian ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) group and one of Europe’s fastest-growing airlines, renowned for its low fares, extensive network, and commitment to sustainability. Founded in June 2003 by József Váradi, a former Malév Hungarian Airlines CEO, Wizz Air is headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, with its largest bases at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), and London Luton Airport (LTN). The group comprises Wizz Air Hungary, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, and Wizz Air UK, serving nearly 200 destinations across 50 countries in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Operating a fleet of 208 Airbus A320-family aircraft, averaging 5 years in age, Wizz Air carried 62.8 million passengers in 2024, generating €2.5 billion in revenue. Listed on the London Stock Exchange (WIZZ) and part of the FTSE 250 Index, Wizz Air is backed by Indigo Partners and emphasizes digital innovation, environmental efficiency, and accessibility, with its slogan, “Dream more. Live more. Be more.” Named Europe’s Leading Low-Cost Airline by World Travel Awards in 2023, Wizz Air is a market leader in Central and Eastern Europe.
Wizz Air was established in September 2003 with a team of six aviation experts led by Váradi. Its first flight took off on May 19, 2004, from Katowice to London Luton. By 2015, Wizz Air went public on the London Stock Exchange, raising £200 million. The airline expanded its footprint with Wizz Air UK in 2017, leveraging Monarch Airlines’ slots at Luton, followed by Wizz Air Abu Dhabi (2020) and Wizz Air Malta (2022). In 2020, Wizz Air launched Hungary Air Cargo with an A330-200F, operating for the Hungarian government.
Despite grounding its fleet during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wizz Air recovered swiftly, reaching 40% of 2019 revenue by June 2020. In 2021, it rejected a takeover bid from EasyJet and ordered 102 A321neo jets at the Dubai Airshow. In 2022, Wizz Air entered Saudi Arabia with 20 new routes. A 2024 milestone introduced the €499 “All You Can Fly” subscription for unlimited European flights, generating buzz on X. By 2025, Wizz Air operated 32 bases and over 800 routes, carrying 62.8 million passengers, a 10% increase from 2023, per an X post.
Wizz Air operates 208 Airbus A320-family aircraft, all with high-density configurations:
The fleet’s average age of 5 years makes it one of Europe’s youngest, contributing to its low carbon footprint (53.8g CO2/passenger/km). Wizz Air has 250 A321neo aircraft on order, aiming for 500 by 2030. Maintenance is handled in-house at facilities in Budapest, Sofia, and Abu Dhabi, meeting EASA and IOSA standards. The A321neo’s fuel-efficient engines reduce emissions by 20%, aligning with Wizz Air’s sustainability goals.
