HIGHLIGHTSNotwithstanding 27 per cent capacity growth, second quarter EBITDA up 13.8 per cent to €775.0 million, operating profit up 8.8 per cent to €447.8 million and net profit up 7.4 per cent to €306.3 million, despite fuel costs 28.7 per cent higher, with Q2 RASK up 0.5 per cent, ahead of guidance. H1 operating profit of
€264.5 million reflects the Q1 impact of the Middle East disruption, already reported. This momentum has continued into the second half, with October unit revenue up mid-single digits year-on-year.
Strong traffic growth of 26.2 per cent year-on-year, with seats up 26.1 per cent and ASKs 17.1 per cent.
Q2 RASK increased 0.5 per cent year-on-year to €5.55 cents as unit revenue improved from August whilst bookings continued to build, ahead of the "flat" guidance. For H1, RASK decreased 2.9 per cent year-on-year, reflecting the 8.1% fall in RASK in the Q1 period.
Fuel CASK up 14.5 per cent in H1 and 8.5 per cent in Q2 in line with guidance. H2 F27 hedge coverage as at 6 November 2026 moves to 82 per cent at a cap of $860/ MT and F28 coverage stands at 41 per cent at a cap of $1,009/ MT.
Year-on-year ex-fuel CASK lower at €3.07 cents (vs €3.08 cents in the prior year), supported by lower airport, crew, distribution and flight disruption charges, which is an improvement against expectations of a low single digit increase.
Strong cash position of €2,394.7 million with liquidity1 at 37.6 per cent.
As of 30 September 2026, Wizz Air had 22 aircraft grounded due to GTF engine-related inspections, with this an improvement versus the 35 grounded at this time last year. Continue to expect zero groundings due to GTF issues by the end of calendar year 2027.
József Váradi, Wizz Air Chief Executive Officer, commented:"H1 F27 demonstrated the resilience of the Wizz Air business model. We saw strong passenger and capacity growth as planned. Demand remained healthy across our network despite continued external challenges. Although profitability in the period was impacted by elevated fuel costs, Middle East disruptions at the start of Q1, and fleet availability constraints, revenue trends strengthened through the summer, supported by solid load factors and improving unit revenue performance.
Operationally, we cancelled fewer flights this year even though we operated 23 per cent more flights compared to the first half of F26. Our on-time performance improved to above 70 per cent, lowering disruption charges and improving crew efficiency.
During the period, we continued to invest in our future growth platform through new bases, customer experience initiatives and fleet deployment, whilst maintaining a robust balance sheet and liquidity close to
€2.40 billion.
Trading momentum has continued into the third quarter. In October, revenue per available seat kilometre was up around 5 per cent year-on-year, with ticket revenue per passenger up 7 per cent, even as our average sector became 5 per cent shorter. For November and December, with around 70 and 40 per cent of seats sold respectively, unit revenue on hand is in line with last year at the same point on around 18 per cent more capacity, with higher average fares offset by lower load factors as we grow through the winter. Fuel remains the main headwind, and our hedging, covering 82 per cent of second-half requirements, is doing what it was designed to do.
As outlined at our Capital Markets Day, we remain focused on restoring margins through fleet productivity, network maturity and disciplined cost execution, while positioning Wizz Air for sustainable long-term growth and shareholder value creation.''
NEAR-TERM AND FULL-YEAR OUTLOOKCOMMERCIAL AND NETWORK UPDATE►
Capacity:
Q3 ASKs up circa 12 per cent YoY, seats up circa 19 per cent;
►
Load factor:
Q3 down low single digits;
►
Revenue:
Q3 RASK up low single digits;
►
Costs:
F27 ex-fuel CASK up mid single digits YoY due to increased transitional costs and broadly
flat underlying operational performance.
In H1, Wizz Air continued to leverage its leading positions across Central and Eastern Europe while expanding into targeted growth markets across Europe. It announced the opening of Spanish operating bases in Valencia, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela from this winter season and opening of bases in Pristina, Kosovo and Brasov, Romania from November and December of this year. In Italy, it expanded its operations with two new bases and grew its based fleet to 42 aircraft ahead of this winter.
In addition to capacity growth across several new markets, the summer capacity expansion increasingly focused on network improvements. Wizz Air maintained a broadly stable airport network while directing capacity into higher-frequency flying, route densification and stronger local market positions.
Wizz Air continues to be the market share leader in CEE with 27.8 per cent of total market seats at the end of September. F27 represents the peak year of network rebuilding, with growth expected to moderate thereafter as route maturity, increased frequency and ancillary initiatives drive revenue quality improvements.
1 For definitions of non-financial measures presented, please refer to the Glossary of terms and Alternative performance measures (APMs) sections of this document.
Overall, Wizz Air entered the second half of F27 with a materially stronger network platform, adding more winter-sun and domestic capacity, while growing frequencies across profitable winter routes. This, together with its clear strategic roadmap to convert recent capacity investments into stronger revenue performance and sustainable profitability over the medium term, leaves it well positioned for long-term growth and shareholder value creation.
GTF ENGINE UPDATEAs of 30 September 2026, Wizz Air had 22 aircraft grounded due to GTF engine-related inspections; an improvement compared to last year when the grounded fleet comprised 35 aircraft. At the end of F27, GTF engine-related groundings are expected to be in the range of 15-20 aircraft with no groundings expected by the end of calendar year 2027.
GEOPOLITICAL SITUATIONSince resuming our flights to Tel Aviv from late May we have deployed circa 33 per cent more seats in F27 compared to last year. We have postponed restarting flights to other Middle East destinations like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, as regional airspace restrictions require significantly longer routings to these destinations, increasing flight times and costs. We continue to monitor the situation on the ground in the Middle East and in Ukraine.
FLEET UPDATEIn the six months ended 30 September 2026 Wizz Air took delivery of 16x new A321neo aircraft, and 3x new A321neo XLRs. During the same period 4x A320ceo and 1x A321ceo aircraft were redelivered, ending the period with a total fleet of 276 aircraft: 22x A320ceo, 39x A321ceo, 6x A320neo, 199x A321neo and 10x A321neo XLRs.
New aircraft deliveries were financed using a combination of sale and leaseback, financial lease and Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option (JOLCO) transactions, with lease terms averaging ten years, before lease extension options.
The average age of the fleet as of 30 September 2026 stood at 4.6 years, making it the youngest fleet of any major European airline, while the average number of seats per aircraft was 232.
The share of "neo" aircraft by seat capacity within Wizz Air's fleet has increased to 74 per cent.
As of 30 September 2026, Wizz Air's delivery pipeline comprised a firm order for 234x A321neo and 1x A321XLR aircraft, a total of 235 aircraft.

As of 6 November 2026, using jet fuel zero-cost collars, Wizz Air has accumulated hedge coverage of 82 per cent of its jet fuel needs for H2 F27 at a price of $860/$794 per metric tonne. For F28 the coverage is 41 per cent at a price of $1,009/$900 per metric tonne, but with cover of 51 per cent for the first half of next year in a range of $966/$872. The EUR/ USD FX coverage stands at 76 per cent for H2 F27 at $1.20/$1.16 rates; for F28 it is at 40 per cent at $1.18/$1.15 rates, but with cover of 49 per cent for the first half of the year in a range of $1.18/$1.16. From beginning of F26 the Company has been hedging USD currency exposure on its lease liabilities. As of 30 September 2026, Wizz Air had 90 per cent of $4.7 billion USD lease liability hedged using a blend of USD cash deposits, and cross currency swaps (average EUR/ USD rate of 1.135).
The balance of EU emissions trading scheme credits repurchase agreement, as of 30 September, is €313.8 million. As of the same date, UK emissions trading scheme credits repurchase agreement balance stands at
€27.0 million. The inventories must be repurchased from the counterparties by September 2027 and December 2027, respectively.
ESG UPDATEAs of 30 September 2026, the 12-month rolling CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre was 49.7 grams (vs 51.2 grams in the preceding 12 months), representing a 2.9 per cent year-on-year improvement.
In April 2026, Wizz Air achieved a Gold status in Cirium's Flight Emissions Review, ranking first in Europe and second globally for carbon emissions efficiency.
Wizz Air's F26 Sustainability Report marked its second consecutive year of voluntary alignment with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, ahead of mandatory reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
During the first half of F27, the Group's total workforce surpassed 10,000 employees for the first time.
As of 30 September 2026, the share of Wizz Air's issued share capital held by Qualifying Nationals (i.e. European Economic Area nationals) was 44 per cent, which, based on the disenfranchisement policy that the Wizz Air Board last applied for August 2026 AGM, would entitle them to 55 per cent of total voting rights, leaving Non-Qualifying Nationals with the remaining 45 per cent of total voting rights.
Wizz Air's management will host an in-person presentation for analysts and institutional investors at 09:30 GMT (10:30 CET) at MHP Group's offices, 60 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 7RT, on the day.

RevenueTotal revenue increased by 13.8 per cent in H1 F27 to €3,801.8 million. Passenger ticket revenue increased by
12.9 per cent to €2,175.6 million and ancillary revenue (or "non-ticket" revenue) increased by 14.9 per cent to
€1,626.2 million, driven by 17.1 per cent capacity increase (ASK) in H1 F27. Total revenue per ASK (RASK) decreased by 2.9 per cent to €4.84 cents, largely driven by yield pressure in Q1 F27 due to the Middle East conflict.
Average revenue per passenger (net fare) was €82.5 during H1 F27, a decrease of 9.9 per cent versus H1 F26. Average ticket revenue per passenger was €47.2 in H1 F27, a decrease of 10.5 per cent vs H1 F26 and average ancillary revenue per passenger was €35.3 in H1 F27, a decrease of 9.0 per cent vs H1 F26. The average stage length decreased 7.1 per cent, from 1,697km in H1 F26 to 1,576km in H1 F27 as a result of refocusing the network on intra-European operations.
Overall, revenue growth was primarily driven by higher capacity and passenger volumes, particularly across Romania, Poland, and Italy, partially offset by lower yields and the impact of base closures in the United Arab Emirates and Austria and continued geographic instability across the Middle East, while load factor provided a modest positive contribution.
Operating expensesOperating expenses for H1 F27 increased by 21.9 per cent to €3,537.3 million, compared to €2,902.9 million in H1 F26. This growth was primarily driven by an expansion in capacity and secondarily by elevated fuel prices since the Middle East conflict - which had an impact throughout the period in scope. Additional drivers include higher en-route charges, handling costs and maintenance event prices due to re-delivery of CEO fleet and inflationary pressure across these cost lines. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in flight disruption costs, due to improved on-time operational performance and a decline in flight cancellations. The total cost per Available Seat Kilometre (CASK) (including the impact of fuel hedges) increased by 4.3 per cent to €4.65 cents in H1 F27 from €4.46 cents in H1 F26 driven by fuel costs. CASK excluding fuel expenses decreased by 0.3 per cent to €3.07 cents in H1 F27 compared to €3.08 cents in H1 F26.
Staff costs increased by 9.2 per cent to €357.3 million in H1 F27, up from €327.3 million in H1 F26, reflecting the higher number of crews needed to operate 22.7 per cent more flights year-on-year, and the cost-of-living adjustment of salaries. Hotel and accommodation costs decreased year-on-year due to the better planning and lower temporary basing compared to last year.
Fuel expenses increased by 33.7 per cent to €1,241.4 million in H1 F27, compared with €928.3 million recorded during the corresponding period in F26, a rise attributable to the higher fuel price environment experienced throughout the first half of F27. The average fuel price (inclusive of the hedge and into-plane premium impact) incurred by Wizz Air during H1 F27 increased by $176 per metric tonne relative to the equivalent period of F26. Fuel hedging instruments served a critical function in mitigating the pronounced escalation in JET A1 pricing that arose as a consequence of geopolitical pressures on price. Owing to the continued expansion of the NEO aircraft fleet, average fuel efficiency has sustained an upward trajectory, with consumption recorded at 2.23 metric tons per block hour, compared with 2.25 metric tons per block hour in the prior year.
Distribution and marketing costs increased by €13.3 million (17.4 per cent) to €89.7 million in H1 F27 from
€76.4 million in the first half of F26, driven by sales growth combined with increased investment in media activities, expanded sponsorships, and direct marketing.
Maintenance, materials and repair costs increased by 28.5 per cent to €263.7 million in H1 F27 up from
€205.2 million in H1 F26, exceeding the pace of ASK growth. This is due to the higher number of heavy checks, including more aircraft redeliveries under the CEO phase-out program, the weakening of the EUR vs the USD given the majority of maintenance contracts are denominated in USD, and general inflationary pressure. These were partially offset by reduced ad hoc, materials, and repair expenditures, including savings in components management.
Airport, handling and en-route charges increased by 16.1 per cent (below ASK increase of 17.1 per cent) to
€947.8 million in the first half of F27 versus €816.3 million in the same period of F26. The cost increase is largely due to the higher number of passengers and increased flight volume, offset partly by passenger volume-generated discounts, introduction of new routes and a strategic shift of capacity toward more cost-efficient airports.
Depreciation and amortisation charges were 21.4 per cent higher at €657.9 million in the first half, up from
€542.1 million in the same period in F26. The rise is attributable to fleet expansion and an increased count of spare engines, as well as a greater volume of maintenance events associated with CEO aircraft that are being phased out of the fleet.
Other expenses decreased by 17.9 per cent and amounted to €176.9 million in H1 F27, compared to €215.5 million in the same period in F26. Among the key drivers, flight disruption cost, including compensation paid to customers, decreased to €51.8 million in H1 F27 from €86.5 million in H1 F26, wet lease expenses decreased to
€0.2 million in H1 F27 from €18.6 million in H1 F26, overhead-related expenses increased to €62.1 million in H1 F27 from €57.6 million in H1 F26 and crew related overhead expenses decreased to €40.1 million in H1 F27 from €41.1 million in H1 F26.
Other income amounted to €197.4 million in H1 F27, compared to €208.2 million in the same period in F26. The breakdown includes sale and leaseback (SLB) gains of €99.7 million in H1 F27 compared to €56.3 million in H1 F26 due to a higher number of spare engine sale and leaseback transactions having taken place in H1 F27 compared to H1 F26. Supplier credits and compensation accounted for a further €82.1 million in H1 F27 compared to €148.8 million in H1 F26, while €10.6 million in insurance compensation was received in connection with the aircraft stranded in Ukraine.
Financial income amounted to €43.8 million in the first half compared to €38.5 million in the same period in F26. Wizz Air holds higher average total cash in this fiscal year, with blended deposit rates holding steady at 4.0%. The USD share of total cash increased, rising from an average of 77.4 per cent in H1 F26 to 81.4 per cent in H1 F27.
Financial expenses totalled €156.9 million during the first half of the reporting period, compared to €127.4 million reported in the corresponding period of F26. Such expenses arise predominantly from interest charges associated with lease liabilities attributable to the expansion of the fleet.
Net result on derivative financial instruments delivered a €15.7 million gain due to strengthening USD against the EUR. The EUR/USD rate falling from 1.1484 at the close of F26 to 1.1357 till the end of H1 F27 against the EUR, translated into a YTD movement of (1.3) cents.
Net foreign exchange loss amounted to €32.5 million (excluding derivative financial instruments) during the period, representing a significant decrease relative to the gain of €176.0 million recorded in the corresponding period in F26. This adverse movement was attributable principally to the aforementioned depreciation of the Euro, which gave rise to an unrealised foreign exchange loss on the revaluation of US Dollar-denominated lease liabilities.
TaxationThe Group recorded an income tax charge of €26.5 million in the period compared to an income tax charge of
€127.1 million in the same period in F26. The decrease in tax charges is attributable to the decreased profit before tax for the current period, movements in deferred taxes and the lower effective tax rate. This tax charge consists of a €49.7 million (the six months ended 30 September 2025: €25.7 million tax charge) current tax charge and a €23.2 million (the six months ended 30 September 2025: €101.4 million tax charge) deferred tax credit.
Second quarter performanceIn the three months to 30 September 2026 ("Q2" or "the second quarter"), Wizz Air passenger numbers rose to
24.8 million, reflecting a 27.2 per cent increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Revenue for the quarter totalled €2,294.4 million, up 19.9 per cent year on year, with ASK capacity up by 19.3 per cent year-on-year and seat capacity up by 26.8 per cent. The average stage length decreased by 5.9 per cent, from 1,660km in Q2 F26 to 1,562km in Q2 F27, as the network was refocused on intra-European operations. The load factor increased from 93.5 per cent to 93.8 per cent. Average revenue per passenger was €92.4, a decrease of 5.8 per cent year-on-year, with average ticket revenue per passenger of €55.1 (a decrease of 4.6 per cent) and average ancillary revenue per passenger of €37.3 (a decrease of 7.5 per cent). Second quarter Operating Profit reached €447.8 million, up from €411.7 million in the corresponding period of F26, despite higher fuel costs and lower average fares, and with other income of €90.2 million compared to €110.6 million in Q2 F26. Ex-fuel CASK for the period settled at €3.08 cents, reflecting a 1.0 per cent rise compared to the same period in F26. Q2 RASK increased 0.5 per cent year-on-year to €5.55 cents.
OTHER INFORMATION- Total cash
Total cash (including restricted cash and cash deposits) at the end of the first half increased by 12.6 per cent to
€2,394.7 million versus 31 March 2026, of which €2,312.0 million is non-restricted cash.
- Hedging position
Wizz Air operates under a clear set of treasury policies approved by the Board and supervised by the Audit and Risk Committee. The hedging policy covers jet fuel and jet fuel-related EUR/USD exposure. The hedges under the hedge policy will be rolled forward quarterly, 18 months out, with coverage levels over time reaching indicatively between 70 and 95 per cent for the first quarter of the hedging horizon and between 20 and 45 per cent for the last quarter of the hedging horizon. Hedging instruments are zero-cost collars mostly but also jet fuel swaps are used for shorter dated exposures. Jet fuel and foreign exchange hedge coverages at 6 November 2026 are as follows:

Pre-hedging, a $10 (per metric tonne) movement in the price of jet fuel will impact the H2 F27 fuel costs by
$11.1 million.
Pre-hedging, a one cent movement in the EUR/USD exchange rate impacts the H2 F27 operating expenses by
€12.8 million.
Balance sheet risk mitigationWizz Air is using USD cash and standard EUR-USD cross currency swaps to mitigate the profit and loss impact coming from balance sheet revaluation of USD liabilities. As of 30 September 2026 we had c. $4.7bn USD lease liability, c. $4.2bn across USD cash and cross currency swaps, leaving an uncovered portion of c. $0.5bn
- Fully diluted share capital
The figure of 127,925,879 should be used for the Company's theoretical fully diluted number of shares as at 30 September 2026. This figure comprises 103,531,853 issued ordinary shares and 24,246,715 new ordinary shares which would have been issued if the full principal of outstanding convertible notes had been fully converted on 30 September 2026 (excluding any ordinary shares that would be issued in respect of accrued but unpaid interest on that date) and 147,311 new ordinary shares which may be issued upon exercise of vested but unexercised employee share options.
- Ownership and control
To protect the EU airline operating licence of Wizz Air Hungary Ltd and Wizz Air Malta Ltd (subsidiaries of the Company), the Board has resolved to continue to apply a disenfranchisement of Ordinary Shares held by non-EEA Shareholders in the capital of the Company. This will continue to be done on the basis of a "Permitted Maximum" of 45 per cent pursuant to the Company's articles of association ("the Permitted Maximum"). In preparation for the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM), that was held on 5 August 2026, the Company sent a Restricted Share Notice to Non-Qualifying registered Shareholders, informing them of the number of Ordinary Shares that will be treated as Restricted Shares:
a "Qualifying National" includes: (i) EEA nationals, (ii) nationals of Switzerland and (iii) in respect of any undertaking, an undertaking which satisfies the conditions as to nationality of ownership and control of undertakings granted an operating licence contained in Article 4(f) of Regulation (EC) No. 1008/2008 of the European Commission, as such conditions may be amended, varied, supplemented or replaced from time to time, or as provided for in any agreement between the EU and any third country (whether or not such undertaking is itself granted an operating licence); and
a "Non-Qualifying National" includes any person who is not a Qualifying National in accordance with the definition above.

- Emerging and principal risks and uncertainties
The aviation industry is subject to multiple risks and Wizz Air's business is no exception. A number of risks, as described in our 2026 Annual Report and Accounts, have the potential to adversely affect Wizz Air's expected results for the remainder of the current financial year. The principal and emerging risks we identified at the start of the year are still present and are in focus, especially risks related to conflicts between countries such as prolonged war between Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing armed conflicts and tensions in the Middle East which will continue to contribute to volatility in fuel prices and the wider operating model, as well as operations-related issues such as the unplanned maintenance of Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. The overall risk profile of the principal risks remained unchanged, as the fluctuations in individual risk ratings, considering the remediation actions, largely balanced each other out.
The full list of risks considered is set out below:
external factors, ensuring the Company has the capabilities and resilience to deal with external risks, such as geopolitical risks, inflation, elevated fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, tariffs, risk of higher business costs, competition, general economic trends, and the default of a partner financial institution;
fleet development, ensuring the Company has the right number of aircraft available at the right time to take advantage of commercial opportunities and grow in a disciplined way without any supply chain disruption;
operations, including safety events and terrorist incidents as well as employee and passenger security;
information technology and cyber risk, including website availability, protection of our own and our customers' data, and ensuring the availability of operation-critical systems in a significantly escalating threat landscape;
network development and scheduling, affirming we are making the best use of our capacity, driving maximum utilisation and ensuring we have access to the right airport infrastructure at the right price so that we can keep on delivering the superior Wizz Air service at low fares across an expanding network;
regulatory risk, making sure that we remain compliant with regulations affecting our business and operations - including compensating customers - and we remain agile to react to the changing governmental actions due to a slowing economic landscape, ownership and control, loss of traffic rights, and changing policies owing to sustainability (taxation, etc.);
human resources risk, ensuring our ability to attract, hire and retain the right talent in the right numbers to support our continued growth and operational excellence;
social and governance risks, making sure we operate in accordance with our core values and our value of integrity, respected throughout our business processes and deals, and providing transparency to all our stakeholders through responsible reporting and disclosure; and
environmental/climate-related risk, ensuring we are able to answer the growing need for environmental protection and consciousness, mitigate the emerging transition and physical risks while working on minimising our environmental impact.
The Directors consider that the principal risks to the Company's business during the second half of the financial year remain those summarised above and set out on pages 19 to 27 of our 2026 Annual Report and Accounts, available at corporate.wizzair.com.

The Company is managed from Route François-Peyrot 12, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex, Geneva, Switzerland. The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group" or "Wizz Air") provide low-cost, low-fare passenger air transportation services on scheduled short-haul and medium-haul point-to-point routes across Europe and the Middle East. The Company's Ordinary Shares are listed in the equity shares for commercial companies ("ESCC") category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and admitted to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
- Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements present the financial results of the Group for the six-month period ended 30 September 2026. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs and IFRICs as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The comparative figures included for the year ended 31 March 2026 do not constitute the statutory financial statements of the Group based on Article 105 (11) of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2026, together with the Independent Auditors' Report, have been filed with the Jersey Financial Services Commission and are also available on the Company's website (wizzair.com). The Independent Auditors' Report on those financial statements was unqualified.
The Company has a policy of rounding each amount and percentage individually from the fully accurate number to the figure disclosed in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As a result, some amounts and percentages do not total - though such differences are all trivial.
Going concernBasis of preparation and assessment period
Wizz Air's business activities, together with emerging and principal risks likely to affect its future development and performance, are described in our 2026 Annual Report and Accounts. The Directors have reviewed the Group's latest financial forecasts for a period of 18 months from the date of approval of the interim financial statements. This includes considering the Group's available committed financing for aircraft and its plans to finance committed future aircraft deliveries due within this period that are currently unfinanced, and also takes into account forecast aircraft groundings given our GTF engine related supply chain issues and likely scenarios associated with the Iran conflict, closure of the Strait of Hormuz and availability and price of jet fuel supplies.
Cash and external borrowingsAt 30 September 2026, the Group held total cash of €2,394.7 million (including cash and cash equivalents of
€1,830.1 million, €455.0 million in short-term cash deposits, €26.9 million in long-term cash deposits and
€82.7 million in restricted cash), while net current assets totalled €40.3 million (including deferred income of
€875.2 million).
The Group's contractual undiscounted external borrowings comprise: €313.8 million of ETS financing from Standard Chartered Bank repayable in September 2027, €27.0 million of ETS financing from Natixis repayable in December 2027, and convertible debt of €25.6 million. In addition, borrowings include a carrying amount of
€7,057.4 million from lease contracts accounted for under IFRS 16 and liabilities related to JOLCO, FTL and Finance Lease contracts. None of these borrowings contain any financial covenants.
Aircraft financing and planning horizonThe Group operates using a three-year planning cycle. Aircraft deliveries represent the Group's primary capital expenditure over the going concern period, which the Group intends to finance through various forms of sale and leaseback or other fleet-financing arrangements, consistent with its past practices. While such financing remains partially uncommitted, the vendor additionally offers committed backstop financing. This backstop financing would cover a substantial portion, though not all, of the expenditure if the Group chooses to utilise it.
Going concern (continued) Forecasting approachThe Directors' enquiries and testing included the review of a base case model projecting the Group's cash flows. The base case model is derived from our contracted fleet plan. This was adjusted to reflect aircraft availability constraints from GTF engine supply chain issues, based on forecasts prepared by the operations team.
The resulting available fleet was overlaid with a utilisation assumption consistent with actual levels observed in F26 and H1 F27. A network plan was then applied to which revenue, cost, compensation, working capital and financing assumptions were layered to develop the base case cash flows.
Downside scenarioThis base case was then flexed to produce a downside forecast that assumes lower demand leading to a 3 per cent reduction in RASK in F27 and a 5 per cent reduction in RASK in F28 and F29. Fuel cost per metric tonne was increased by 11% for the 12 months to 30 November 2027 and 8% for the remainder of F28 and F29. We also increased our operating unit costs by+1% in F28 and F29, allowing for inflation. These assumptions were modelled cumulatively across the full going concern period. The downside case also excludes any assumed financing for our currently unfinanced aircraft and engine deliveries. Mitigating actions in relation to the unfinanced aircraft and an assumed sale of owned spare engines were also considered in the preparation of the downside case.
Key Risk ConsiderationsIn preparing both base and downside forecasts, the Directors considered the emerging and principal risks identified including:
Card acquirer risk: The Group receives payments for ticket and ancillary revenue in advance through arrangements with various card acquirers, which are subject to typical capacity and security limits. These limits were considered in the forecast models.
Geopolitical and operational disruption: The impact of conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and Iran was considered, including the three stranded aircraft in Ukraine (see Note 11). The availability and price volatility of Jet A1 supplies was also considered. Whilst the Group's plans include continued operations to Israel, the potential for reallocating capacity to other routes was assessed and considered manageable.
Climate and regulatory risk: The Directors considered the impact of higher pricing for ETS levied in Europe and the UK, as well as Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) implementation costs. These were reflected in forecast assumptions through higher carbon and fuel pricing. The mandated use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) was also considered as part of increased average jet fuel cost assumptions.
The Directors concluded that no material adverse impact on future cash flows is likely to result from these items. Furthermore, it was assumed that there will be no new disruptions of the magnitude experienced in recent financial years.
ConclusionIn this downside scenario, whilst there was a significant reduction in liquidity modelled compared to base-case assumptions, headroom on the security levels of the card acquirer contracts was maintained. After making enquiries and testing the assumptions against different forecast scenarios, including a severe but plausible downside case, the Directors have satisfied themselves that the Group is expected to be able to meet its commitments and obligations as they fall due for a period of at least the next twelve months from the date the interim financial statements are approved. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
- Material accounting policies
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in the Group's most recently published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026, except for the changes explained below.
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.
Income taxes are calculated based on the management's best estimate of the effective tax rate in line with IAS 34.
In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Directors have considered the impact of climate change, particularly in the context of the disclosures included in the Strategic Report in the 2026 Annual Report and Accounts, the stated emission targets and the update provided on page 4 of this interim report. These considerations did not have a material impact on the Group's going concern assessment, nor on the financial reporting judgments and estimates used in the preparation of these interim financial statements.
New standards, amendments and interpretations issued and effectiveThe following new standards, amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in the six months to 30 September 2026, but do not have any impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group:
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, 'Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity'
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the 'Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments'
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11, contains amendments to the following standards: IFRS 1, 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards', IFRS 7, 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments', IFRS 10, 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and IAS 7, 'Statement of Cash Flows'.
New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effectiveThe following new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been published by the IASB that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group. The new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements in the current or future reporting periods.
IFRS 18, 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements': The IASB issued IFRS 18 on 9 April 2024. The new standard will give investors more transparent and comparable information about companies' financial performances. IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements to improve companies' reporting of financial performance and give investors a better basis for analysing and comparing companies: three defined categories for income and expenses - operating, investing and financing - to improve the structure of the income statement, and requiring all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit; explanations of the company-specific measures that are related to the income statement, referred to as management-defined performance measures (MPMs); and enhanced guidance on how to organise information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted.
IFRS 18 is applicable for the Group, therefore an analysis of the impact of IFRS 18, particularly with respect to the structure of the Group's statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and additional disclosures required for management-defined performance measures, is in progress.
- Material accounting policies (continued)
New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective (continued)
In September 2026, the Group's management launched a comprehensive project to implement IFRS 18. The Group expects to be able to implement IFRS 18 smoothly by the date on which application is required.
The Group will not early apply IFRS 18; accordingly, it will first apply the standard for the financial year ending 31 March 2028. Under the transition requirements of IFRS 18, the first financial statements in which the Group is required to present each line item it expects to use when applying IFRS 18, together with the subtotals required by the Standard, will be the condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34 for the six-month period ending 30 September 2027. However, the Group expects to present those line items and subtotals already in its summary condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for the three-month period ending 30 June 2027, which will be included in its F28 Q1 stock market press release.
At the current stage of the IFRS 18 implementation project, the Group has identified the following principal areas of its consolidated financial statements that may be affected by IFRS 18:
Management-defined performance measures (MPMs)
Financial income and expenses other than those related to derivatives
Derivative gains/losses
Aggregation and disaggregation
Classification of operating expenses
Cash flow statement.
IFRS 18 also introduces certain limited-scope amendments relating to the statement of financial position. The Group expects these amendments to have limited or no effect on its consolidated statement of financial position.
The IASB has published the following new accounting standards, amendments, and interpretations that have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency (Amendments to IAS 21)
IFRS 19, 'Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures'
Amendments to IFRS 19 'Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures'
IFRS 20, 'Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities'
Amendments to the Fair Value Option in IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures'
The new accounting standard and amendments above are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods.
- Financial risk management Hedging
The hedges under the systematic commodity hedge policy will be rolled forward quarterly, 18 months out, with coverage levels over time reaching indicatively between 70 and 95 per cent for the first quarter of the hedging horizon and between 20 and 45 per cent for the last quarter of the hedging horizon. In line with the hedging policy, Wizz Air also hedges its US Dollar exposure related to jet fuel consumption. The Group applies hedge accounting to hedging relationships that fall within the scope of the policy.
As at 1 October 2024, the Wizz Air Board approved a USD lease liabilities economic hedging policy covering a large portion of foreign exchange risks related to aircraft lease financing denominated in US dollars.
Hedge transactions during the period
The Group uses zero-cost collars and swaps to hedge its jet fuel-related foreign exchange exposures and jet fuel price exposures. To ensure an economic relationship, the Group enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly those of the hedged item.
The gains and losses arising from hedge transactions during the period were as follows:

The Group measures its derivative financial instruments at fair value, as calculated by management using an independent derivative valuation platform. Such fair values might change materially within the near future, yet these changes would not arise from assumptions made by management or other sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the period, but from movements in market prices. The fair value calculation is most sensitive to movements in the jet fuel and foreign currency spot prices, their implied volatility and respective yields.
At the end of the period the Group had the following open hedge positions:

The effects of the jet fuel hedges on the Group's financial position and performance are as follows:
December 2026
Hedge effectiveness
The effectiveness of hedges is tested both prospectively and retrospectively to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of open positions. Prospective testing of open hedges requires making certain estimates, the most significant one being for the future expected level of the business activity (primarily the utilisation of fleet capacity) of the Group. Building on these estimations of the future, management makes a judgement on the accounting treatment of open hedging instruments. Hedge accounting for jet fuel and foreign currency cash flow hedges is discontinued where the "highly probable" forecast criterion is not met in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9.
There was no discontinued hedging relationship during the six months ended 30 September 2025 or the six months ended 30 September 2026.
None of the hedge counterparties had a material change in their credit status that would have influenced the effectiveness of the hedging transactions.
Fair value estimationThe Group measures its derivative financial instruments at fair value, calculated by a third-party front office system that falls into the Level 2 category. Fair values are determined based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The front office platform provides comprehensive risk management capabilities, using generally accepted valuation techniques, principally the Black-Scholes model and discounted cash flow models. Equity investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All the other financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are measured at amortised cost. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts. The fair value of the money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents as at 30 September 2026 was estimated using quoted prices (Level 1).

- Critical accounting estimates and judgments made in applying the Group's accounting policies
For critical accounting estimates and judgments refer to Note 4 in the 2026 Annual Report and Accounts of the Group. No significant changes to such estimates and judgments occurred for the six months ended 30 September 2026, except for the below.
Useful life of A320 NEO family aircraftHaving considered aircraft market trends, maintenance cycles and expectations regarding new technology becoming commercially available, management revised the estimated useful life of A320 NEO family (including A320, A321, and XLR aircraft type) aircraft assets recognised as property, plant and equipment from 12-14 years to 18 years. The impact of the change in estimated useful life on the depreciation expense for the period is not material. This change did not affect the full expected useful life of these aircraft types of 28 years.
- Segment information Reportable segment information
During F26 and F27 the Group had only one reportable segment, being its entire route network, resulting in a net profit of €108.1 million during the six months ended 30 September 2026 (for the six months ended 30 September 2025: €323.5 million net profit). All segment revenue was derived wholly from external customers and, as the Group had a single reportable segment, inter-segment revenue was zero.
Entity-wide disclosuresProducts and services

These categories are non-IFRS categories meaning that they are not necessarily distinct from a nature, timing and risk point of view; however, management believes that these categories provide clarity over the revenue profile of the Group to the readers of the financial statements and are in line with airline industry practice. The categories as per the definition of IFRS 15 are disclosed in Note 7.
Ancillary revenue arises mainly from baggage charges, booking/payment currency conversion charges, airport check-in fees, fees for various convenience services (e.g. priority boarding, extended legroom and reserved seats), loyalty programme membership fees, commission on the sale of onboard catering, accommodation, car rental, travel insurance, bus transfers, premium calls, co-branded cards and charters.
Geographic areas
Revenue from external customers can be analysed by geographic areas as follows:
Six months ended
Six months ended
30 Sep 2026
€ million
30 Sep 2025
€ million
EU and EFTA countries
2,857.6
2,405.6
UK

340.6
Other (non-EU)
626.8
595.9
Total revenue from external customers
3,801.8
3,342.1
In the table above, other (non-EU) comprises a number of non-EU geographic areas that are all individually less than 10 per cent of the total revenue.
Revenue was allocated to geographic areas based on the location of the first departure airport on each ticket booking.
The Company's revenue from external customers within the EU is mainly generated by Italy of €531.1 million for the six months ended 30 September 2026 (the six months ended 30 September 2025: €438.9 million), Romania of €397.2 million (the six months ended 30 September 2025: €356.9 million) and Poland of €378.4 million (the six months ended 30 September 2025: €328.2 million).
The physical location of non-current assets is not disclosed by geographic area. This is because: (i) by value most assets are associated either with aircraft not yet received (pre-delivery payments) or with existing leased aircraft and spare engines (RoU and maintenance assets), the location of which changes regularly following aircraft capacity allocation decisions; and (ii) the value of the remaining asset categories (land and buildings, and fixtures and fittings) is not a material part of total non-current assets.
The distribution of the non-current assets between the key operating entities of the Group is as follows:
30 Sep 2026

31 March 2026

Wizz Air Hungary Ltd.

No revenue or non-current assets of the Group were recognised in Jersey, the Company's country of domicile, for the six months ended 30 September 2026 (for the six months ended 30 September 2025: €nil).
Major customers
The Group derives the vast majority of its revenues from its passengers and sells most of its tickets directly to the passengers as final customers, rather than through corporate intermediaries (tour operators, travel agents or similar).
- Revenue
The split of total revenue presented in the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, being passenger ticket revenue and ancillary revenue, is a non-IFRS measure (or alternative performance measure). The existing revenue presentation is considered relevant for users of the financial statements because: (i) it mirrors disclosures presented outside of the financial statements; and (ii) it is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker for evaluating financial performance of the (Group's single) operating segment.
Revenue from contracts with customers can be disaggregated as follows based on IFRS 15:
Six months ended | Six months ended | |
30 Sep 2026 | 30 Sep 2025 | |
€ million | € million | |
Revenue from contracts with passengers | 3,753.5 | 3,305.1 |
Revenue from contracts with other partners | 48.3 | 37.0 |
Total revenue from contracts with customers | 3,801.8 | 3,342.1 |
These two categories represent revenues that are distinct from a nature, timing and risks point of view. Revenue from contracts with other partners relates to commissions on the sale of on-board catering, accommodation, car rental, travel insurance, bus transfers, premium calls and co-branded cards, where the Group acts as an agent.
The contract assets reported on 30 September 2026 as part of trade and other receivables amounted to €7.6 million (31 March 2026: €9.4 million) and the contract liabilities (unearned revenues) reported as part of deferred income were €857.3 million as at 30 September 2026 (31 March 2026: €1,168.7 million). Out of the
€3,753.5 million revenue recognised for the six months ended 30 September 2026 (for the six months ended 30 September 2025: €3,305.1 million), €1,168.7 million (the six months ended 30 September 2025: €1,003.5 million) was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period (see unearned revenue in Note 17).
