Wizz Air has closed the calendar year 2025 with growth, an expanded and refocused network, and continued improvements in operational performance.

József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air, said: “2025 was a defining year for Wizz Air. We expanded our fleet at pace, opened hundreds of new routes, and carried more passengers than ever before – all while strengthening the reliability of our operations.

“In 2026, we intend to go even further. Our focus is firmly on accelerating growth in Central and Eastern Europe and unlocking opportunities in markets that remain underserved and full of potential.
