About Wizz Air
Wizz Air Holdings Plc., styled as W!ZZ, is a Hungarian ultra-low-cost airline group headquartered in Budapest, Hungary. It was conceived in June 2003 and commenced its first flight on May 19, 2004, from Katowice, Poland, to London Luton Airport, aiming to capitalize on the underserved low-cost market in Central and Eastern Europe. The group includes subsidiaries such as Wizz Air Hungary, Wizz Air UK, and Wizz Air Malta.
Wizz Air operates a vast network with 35 bases across 17 countries. Its largest bases, as of 2023, include Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, and London Luton Airport. The airline's route network spans numerous cities across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and South and Central Asia, serving nearly 200 destinations via over 800 routes. Wizz Air does not hold membership in any of the major airline alliances such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, maintaining its independent ultra-low-cost carrier model.
The airline operates a modern fleet consisting entirely of Airbus A320 and A321 family aircraft, including the A320neo and A321neo models. As of February 2024, the fleet comprises over 200 aircraft, with an average age of approximately 4.2 years, making it one of the youngest fleets globally. Wizz Air focuses on a "pay for what matters" model, offering very low base fares and charging extra for services. Starting December 2025, Wizz Air plans to pilot a new premium seating product called "Wizz Class" on selected routes from cities like London, Budapest, Bucharest, Rome, and Warsaw. This offering will include priority boarding, a carry-on bag, reserved overhead bin space, and the option to block the middle seat for more comfort and space, although it will not include traditional business class perks like complimentary meals or lounge access. Additionally, a connectivity enhancement branded "Wizz Play" with Wi-Fi and entertainment is expected to appear on some aircraft.
