Its Jersey-based parent company, Wizz Air Holdings plc, is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.[8]

History

Foundation and expansion

The airline was established in September 2003. The lead investor is Indigo Partners, an American private equity firm[9] specialising in transportation investments. The first flight was made from Katowice International Airport on 19 May 2004.[10] The airline's CEO is József Váradi, former CEO of Malév Hungarian Airlines. The company is registered in Pest County, Hungary.[11]

On 25 February 2015, Wizz Air shares began trading on the London Stock Exchange.[12]

In November 2017, Wizz Air announced its planned launch of a British division called Wizz Air UK, based at London Luton mainly to take advantage of landing slots acquired when Monarch Airlines entered administration that year.[13] The airline applied successfully to the CAA for an AOC and a Type A Operating Licence. The airline launched operations in March 2018 using British registered aircraft. Wizz Air UK was to start taking over UK-bound flights previously operated by Wizz Air, and plans called for the airline to employ up to 100 staff by the end of 2018.[14]

In November 2018, Wizz Air announced plans to reactivate its Wizz Air Ukraine subsidiary, approximately three years after its closure. The airline would seek to complete certification in 2019 following the acquisition of twenty A320/321 neo jets. Bases were to be developed in Kyiv and cities across the country, with a planned passenger throughput of 6 million per annum by 2025.[15]

Pandemic

By early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created a case of force majeure in European aviation, gradually forcing airline fleets to land, including the majority of Wizz Air aircraft.[16] Although it was announced in March that no redundancies were planned, one-fifth of the staff were dismissed when it became clear that air travel across the continent was shutting down.[17] In April 2020, based on passenger numbers, Wizz Air became Europe's largest low-cost airline with 78,000 passengers.[18] By mid-June, they had reached 40 percent of their previous year's normal weekly revenue, while the proportion of no-shows fell from 80 percent in April to 30 percent.[19] In July 2020, the airline announced that it will form a joint venture with the Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company.[20]

In October 2020, Wizz took delivery of an A330-200F cargo aircraft (HA-LHU, formerly Qatar Cargo), operating it on behalf of the Hungarian Government as 'Hungary Air Cargo'.[21] The same month, it announced that its first Scandinavian base would be opened at Oslo's Gardermoen Airport in November 2020; the two aircraft based there would also undertake domestic flights within Norway.[22] However, ticket sales for domestic flights after 13 June 2021 were subsequently stopped.[23]

In the spring of 2021, as the third wave of the coronavirus epidemic arrived, the airline's CEO pitched Wizz Air to investors as a "rare ray of investment hope". He said that he hoped that air transport would be restored by 2024–2025, and that he was confident that Wizz Air would be the only airline to continue its investments, made possible by the fact that it had the highest liquidity in the entire airline industry.[24]

Wizz Air has prioritised fleet development and airport construction in its investments, with the opening of Brașov Airport planned for November 2022.[24][25]

Renewed expansion

On 3 February 2021, Wizz Air announced the opening of its second base in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after Tuzla; the airline would open a base at Sarajevo with one Airbus A320. The airline announced nine new destinations from Sarajevo with 21 weekly departures.[26]

In April 2021, as planned, Wizz Air added Abu Dhabi to its services, offering connections to Europe beyond the UAE to neighbouring Arab countries.[27]

In August 2021, company management announced that they plan to hire 4,600 new pilots by 2030, with the first part of their plan to train and hire nearly 500 pilots by the end of 2021.[28]

In September 2021, rival low-cost carrier EasyJet claimed it had rejected a takeover offer from Wizz Air.[29]

On 14 November 2021, on the first day of the Dubai Airshow, Wizz Air was one of four airlines that ordered additional A321neo jets. Wizz Air is due to receive a total of 75 A321neo and 27 A321XLRs, adding up to 102 new aircraft.[30]

In May 2022, Wizz Air said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Investment to collaborate on potential investment and operating models to boost the country's tourism industry and increase its connectivity.[31][32] The same month, the company announced its intention to form a subsidiary in Malta, named Wizz Air Malta.[33] In August 2022, it was announced that former Ryanair executive Diarmuid O Conghaile would join the newly formed company as managing director from 1 November 2022.[34]

Wizz Air intends to increase its fleet from 180 aircraft to 500 by the end of the decade.[35]

2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, four Wizz Air aircraft were stranded in Ukraine, three in Kyiv and one in Lviv[36] though the aircraft at Lviv has since been recovered and re-entered service.[36][37]

Flying was curtailed for two weeks by the outbreak of war, but Wizz Air soon returned to normal operations with the exception of the Ukrainian and Russian markets, which remained suspended.[38]

In March 2022, amid the invasion, Wizz Air provided 100,000 free airline tickets to refugees for short-distance flights from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.[39][40]

Head office

Since March 2015, Wizz Air's head office has been in Laurus Offices (Laurus Irodaház), Building B, Budapest.[51][52] Previously headquartered at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,[53][54] Wizz Air signed the Laurus lease in October 2010 and moved there with 150 employees in June 2011. The airline occupied over 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) of space in an office building refurbished after the airline's arrival. The facility, with open-plan offices, housed about 150 employees.[53] Before the time its head office was at the airport, it was in the Airport Business Park C2 in Vecsés, close to the airport.[55]

Operations

As is common with European low-cost carriers, Wizz Air prefers operating out of smaller or secondary airports to reduce costs and fees. It also has a buy-on-board food service called Wizz Café, and a service called Wizz Boutique for other items.[56]

On 8 June 2022, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with European aircraft manufacturer Airbus to work on the development of hydrogen-powered aircraft.[57]

Environmental protection

In November 2019, Wizz Air dismissed concerns about its part in environmental damage raised by the "flight shame" movement, basing its response on the airline's per-passenger emission level. The company said it would reduce per capita emissions by an additional 30 percent by 2030. Wizz Air also condemned inefficient airlines such as Lufthansa that offered business class and used outdated technologies, which according to Wizz Air cause far more environmental damage.[101][102]

As part of Wizz Air's fuel-saving strategy, all phases of take-off and landing are continuously monitored for maximum environmental optimization, which has a significant impact on further continuous reductions in CO2 emissions.[103]

In May 2022, they announced that they are aiming to switch from fossil fuels to hydrogen propulsion within 10-15 years as part of a pilot project with Airbus. The need for this ongoing transition has been explained not only by direct environmental and technological considerations, but also by business reasons, saying that over time both passengers and investors will increasingly expect airlines to operate in a more environmentally friendly way.[38][104]

In November 2022, Wizz Air signed an agreement with Austrian energy company OMV to purchase nearly 185,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from 2023 to 2030. SAF produced from sustainable feedstocks, such as edible oil and green hydrogen, could be a key element in the aviation industry's goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates that SAF could contribute around 65 percent to the aviation sector's net zero emissions reduction target by 2050.[105]

The cooperation with OMV under the SAF contract provides Wizz Air with the opportunity to move forward with its strategy to continuously reduce its carbon intensity per passenger-kilometre and reduce its carbon intensity by a further 25 percent by 2030 and to eliminate its carbon emissions completely by 2050.[106] The Wizz Air-OMV agreement demonstrates the airline's commitment to ensuring that its passengers choose the most environmentally responsible way of flying by choosing to fly with Wizz Air.[107]

A few days before the SAF contract was signed, Wizz Air won the Global Environmental Sustainability Airline Group of the Year.[108] The award was presented for the first time by CAPA (Centre for Aviation) at the Asia Aviation Summit and Sustainability Expo 2022 in Singapore. CAPA, a member of the Aviation Week Network, is one of the world's most trusted sources of market information for the aviation and tourism industries. In addition to global recognition, Wizz Air also won the Sustainable Airline of the Year Award in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.[109] The citation stated that Wizz Air was among the top performing airlines in most categories, according to CAPA's Environmental Sustainability Airline Performance Assessment Report 2021 and 2022.[110]

In May 2023, Wizz Air has announced that it will provide a significant amount of funding to support research by CleanJoule, a US company developing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A total of $50 million has been invested in the green start-up by the Indigo Partners consortium, which includes Wizz Air, GenZero of Singapore, CleanHill Partners of the US, Frontier Airlines and Mexican airline Volaris. The funding will support the development of CleanJoule's technology, which aims to produce high-performance sustainable fuels from agricultural residues and other waste biomass in a more cost-effective way.[111]

Incidents

On 8 June 2013, Wizz Air Flight 3141, an Airbus A320-232 (registration HA-LWM) from Bucharest Henri Coandă Airport, Romania to Rome-Ciampino, Italy, made an emergency landing[112] at Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport when the crew encountered problems lowering one of the main undercarriages and locking it into position. The aircraft diverted to Fiumicino because of the longer runway, and firefighters applied foam after landing as a precautionary measure. The aircraft was evacuated using slides.[113] Initial reports of injured passengers were denied by both Wizz Air and Rome Fiumicino Airport, who said some passengers requested medical checkups but reported no injuries.[114]

On 14 March 2023, Wizz Air Flight 4692, an Airbus A320-232 (registered 9H-WBV) intended for Dortmund collided with another Wizz Air A320 (registered HA-LWZ) in Suceava Airport, Romania. The left winglet of Flight 4692 clipped the other aircraft's right horizontal stabilizer, during the former's taxiing out process. There were no injuries reported, though both aircraft had to be grounded for repairs.[115]

Criticism

Wizz Air has faced criticism and legal issues due to its strong opposition to employee unionization.[116][117] One of the first cases was closed by the Romanian supreme court in 2019 with a verdict that Wizz Air discriminated against its workers.[118] Other cases blaming Wizz Air for a similar attitude against its employees are still open in Ukraine and other countries.[119][120] In October 2020, the Prime Minister of Norway stated that she would not fly with Wizz Air after the company resumed its flights in the country.[121] Wizz Air has claimed to allow its employees to be organized in assemblies.[122]
