Wizz Air welcomed record 62.8 million passengers In 2024

Wizz Air has ended 2024 once again breaking its own record with nearly 63 million passengers having chosen to travel with the airline last year on over 300,000 flights, the highest ever annual passenger traffic for the company.

Also according to an announcement from the airline, in 2024 Wizz Air launched almost 100 new routes, including from Larnaca to Sphinx and to Milan. At the same time, the airline took delivery of 34 aircraft, growing its fleet size by 15%. Out of 226 aircraft in Wizz Air’s fleet, 146 are brand new Airbus A320/21neos offering the best performance and sustainability characteristics in its class, with the neo technology now powering 65% of Wizz Air’s operations.

Throughout 2025 and early 2026, Wizz Air expects to take 50 new Airbus A321neo and A321XLR deliveries. These additional latest technology aircraft will take the type's share of the WIZZ fleet to 77%, as the airline continues its retirement of A320ceo family aircraft, further bolstering its fuel-efficient operations and its market-leading sustainability credentials, the same announcement noted.

Last year, Wizz Air completed 99.5% of its scheduled flights, which is the third best result among all European airlines and well above industry average.

Further enhancing its customer experience, Wizz Air tripled its Customer Care centres capacity, implemented the 24/7 Amelia voice assistant for passengers in case of disruptions, and launched a new Help Centre platform on wizzair.com.

Finally, Wizz Air has continued receiving recognition for its sustainability efforts, being named the ‘EMEA’s Environmental Sustainability Airline Group for 2024’ by CAPA, the ‘Best Airline for Carbon Reduction’ and the ‘Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline’ for the fourth consecutive year by World Finance. According to CAPA - Centre for Aviation Awards for Excellence 2024, Wizz Air is EMEA’s most environmentally sustainable airline.
