Wizz Air awarded 'Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline'
Wizz Air has been awarded the title of "Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline" at the World Finance Sustainability Awards 2025 for the fifth consecutive time, consolidating its role as a reference in the green aviation landscape.
The jury of the international awards, supported by advanced AI-based analysis tools, awarded Wizz Air for its global leadership in environmental sustainability and for its concrete commitment to promoting a low-emission transition. Among the reasons for the recognition, the active participation in the Zero Emission Aviation Alliance (AZEA) and the support for international climate policies, in venues such as COP29, stand out.
During fiscal 2024, Wizz Air recorded an average CO₂ emissions of 52 grams per passenger per kilometre, among the lowest in the entire sector, thanks to a mix of operational efficiency and fleet renewal.
More than 61% of the aircraft used are modern Airbus A321neos, models that guarantee 20% lower fuel consumption and a 50% reduction in noise compared to previous generation aircraft. Wizz Air's fleet, among the youngest in the world, has an average age of just 4.7 years.
Another distinctive element is the investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF): the company has set itself the goal of powering at least 10% of flights with SAF by 2030, in line with European directives, and has already launched strategic partnerships with manufacturers to support the growth of the entire supply chain.
Wizz Air continues to introduce innovative technological solutions to optimize the efficiency of its flights: use of lighter components; intelligent fuel management systems; taxiing with a single motor; use of ground-based electrical sources when parked.
