Wizz Air notches summer passenger traffic record
Wizz Air carried almost 13 million passengers during the peak summer months.
It represents year-on-year growth of 76%.
Over the summer, Wizz Air has expanded its network, adding 63 new routes to 38 new destinations across Europe and beyond.
The airline welcomed 13 new Airbus aircraft between June and August, taking the size of its fleet to 165.
Evelin Jeckel, Network Officer at Wizz Air said: “We are proud to have flown a record number of passengers over the peak summer season, especially given the well-documented challenges facing the entire travel industry.”
The three months were another exciting period of expansion, with some major highlights, including the announcement of 20 new routes from across Europe to Saudi Arabia and the launch of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi flights to Kuwait and the Maldives from October.”
Wizz Air is committed to growing its UK network, and now operates more than 60 routes from across the UK.
Wizz Air recently announced that it is launching nine new routes from London Luton and Gatwick Airport this autumn, to destinations including Tallin, Estonia; Hurghada, Egypt; Prague, Czech Republic; Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt; Agadir, Morocco; Marrakesh, Morocco; Grenoble, France; and Verona, Italy.
