[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \nSTRONG APRIL TRAFFIC STATISTICS REFLECTS THE FAVOURABLE TIMING OF EASTER AND A RETURN TO GROWTH \nTicker: WIZZ \n \nGeneva, 2 May 2025: Wizz Air Holdings Plc (\"Wizz Air\"), one of the most sustainable European airlines, announces passenger and CO2 emission statistics for April 2025. \n \nWizz Air carried 5.4 million passengers during the month of April, a 10.8% increase year on year. Seat capacity increased 11.4% YoY, resulting in a load factor of 89.8%, down 0.5ppt on last year's load factor of 90.3%. \n \nDuring the month: \n \n· With Easter falling entirely in April this year, our new fiscal year started strongly, with a seasonal increase in passenger numbers in the month, as anticipated. We expect this seasonal effect to normalise in the months ahead, consistent with historical trends. While overall demand was strong, load factor was modestly lower due to one-directional VFR traffic patterns during the Easter holiday period.\n· The airline group launched its carbon roadmap. 'Flying Towards Net Zero'. This focuses on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as a critical decarbonization lever. This could deliver a further 25% reduction in emissions by 2030.\n· Wizz Air continues to be one of the lowest emission airlines, reporting a further decline in CO2 emissions per RPK in April, down 2.5% YoY, to 51.3 grams. \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nMonth \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nRolling 12 months \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nApril \n2025 \n\n\nApril \n2024 \n\n\nChange \nYoY \n\n\n \n\n\nApril \n2025 \n\n\nApril \n2024 \n\n\nChange \nYoY \n\n\n\n\nCapacity (seats) \n\n\n6,057,078\n\n\n5,438,481 \n\n\n11.4%\n\n\n \n\n\n70,164,937\n\n\n68,833,728\n\n\n 1.9% \n\n\n\n\nPassengers* \n\n\n5,440,820\n\n\n4,911,849\n\n\n10.8%\n\n\n \n\n\n63,932,291\n\n\n62,000,565\n\n\n 3.1% \n\n\n\n\nLoad Factor** \n\n\n 89.8%\n\n\n90.3% \n\n\n-0.5ppt\n\n\n \n\n\n91.1% \n\n\n90.1% \n\n\n 1.0ppt\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Booked passengers \n**...
