Wizz Air started the new year with a boost in passenger carryings as it reflected further recovery from the pandemic.
January numbers rose by 318% to almost 2.4 million with a load factor of 79.6% over 573,692 passengers flown in the same month in 2021.
This gave the Hungarian budget carrier a rolling 12 month total of 23.5 million passengers, up from 14 million in the equivalent year to January 2021.
The airline, which operates a fleet of 149 Airbus A320s and A321s, launched a ‘Fly the Greenest’ campaign last month to raise awareness of its sustainability efforts.
