The Hungary-based low-cost carrier reported a 99.5% completion rate and launched 345 new routes in the 12 months since the initiative began. Its fleet grew to 262 aircraft, reinforcing its position among the youngest and most fuel-efficient in the industry.

Over the same period, the airline increased capacity, operating 7% more flights year on year. In 2025, Wizz Air carried 68.6 million passengers and operated nearly 335,000 scheduled flights. For 2026, it is targeting 80 million passengers, supported by a network capable of up to 1,200 daily flights during peak periods.

Fleet modernization remains a central pillar of the company’s strategy. More than 75% of aircraft are now next-generation Airbus A321neo jets, as Wizz Air phases out older A321ceo models and moves toward an all-neo fleet by 2029. The transition is expected to lower costs, emissions and noise, while improving efficiency and passenger comfort.

Expansion has been particularly strong in Central and Eastern Europe. Since April 2025, Wizz Air has added 37 aircraft across 12 countries and introduced more than 345 new routes, with 44% focused on leisure travel. The airline now operates a network of more than 1,000 routes.

Service Upgrades Aimed at Enhancing Travel Experience

Alongside network growth, Wizz Air has rolled out several new customer-focused services aimed at enhancing the travel experience while maintaining its ultra-low-cost model.

These include Wizz Class, a higher-comfort offering positioned below traditional business class; Wizz Link, a platform for booking multi-leg journeys; and Disruption Assistance, which provides real-time rebooking options, including on other airlines within a defined price cap.

The carrier has also introduced a digital cabin ecosystem, including in-seat ordering and a trial of onboard connectivity in the United Kingdom. Additional products such as Wizz Discount Club, All You Can Fly and the relaunched Wizz MultiPass — now available in eight markets — are designed to offer pricing flexibility and subscription-style travel options.

Digital tools continue to play a growing role. The MyJourney feature in the airline’s mobile app provides real-time updates, disruption management and self-service capabilities.

These developments have contributed to improved customer satisfaction, which has risen to more than 77%, up 5 percentage points year on year, the company said.

Maintaining low fares remains a core part of the airline’s strategy. Wizz Air said 40% of its tickets are priced below EUR 40, supported by its cost structure and fuel-efficient fleet.

Beyond its core operations, the airline is also expanding its brand ecosystem through initiatives such as the Wizz Foundation, Wizz Running Events and partnerships including Italian football club AS Roma.

Speaking at an online event, chief commercial officer Ian Malin said: “When we launched the Customer First Compass, our goal was bold but simple: to prove that ultra-low fares don’t have to mean compromising on reliability or customer experience. One year later, the results speak for themselves. From introducing WIZZ Class to achieving a 99.5% completion rate, we are fundamentally redefining what passengers can expect from low-cost travel. We aren’t just growing our network; we are elevating the entire journey. Let’s WIZZ!”
