Europe’s fastest-growing airline has also just been named as the Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline at the World Finance Sustainability Awards 2022.
World Finance congratulated winners for helping to bring about transformative change, and in particular praised Wizz Air’s continued commitment to sustainability, specifically its ambitious fleet renewal programme and other fuel-saving initiatives. The airline is proud to have the lowest carbon emissions per passenger kilometre in Europe, and has pledged to further reduce emissions by 25% by 2030, in comparison to 2019 levels.
An integral element of Wizz Air’s sustainability strategy is its Airbus fleet, which is one of the youngest in Europe, and currently consists of 154 aircraft with an average age of 4.93 years. Incorporating the latest technologies in aviation, the Airbus A321neo aircraft offers a 50% reduction in noise footprint, a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and a 50% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions, compared to earlier aircraft models. Wizz Air also recently signed an MoU with Airbus, to explore the potential of highly efficient, ultra-low-cost hydrogen-powered operations.
WIZZ's UK network just got a whole lot bigger! Now the airline offers flights from London Luton to Tallin, Prague, and Hurghada, or from London Gatwick to Agadir, Marrakesh, Verona, and Grenoble. The fascinating Sharm El Sheikh is available from both airports.
