Wizz Air Promises to Keep Fares Low

Budapest-based carrier Wizz Air will keep its fares low and plans no fuel surcharge or flight cuts due to higher kerosene prices, Chief Commercial Officer Ian Malin said at a press conference in the capital on Tuesday.

Fielding questions, he said that around 70% of Wizz Air's summer fuel needs were covered by favourable options, giving the airline an advantage over its peers.

Speaking at an exclusive online event, Ian Malin gave a progress update on Wizz Air's Customer First Compass restructuring program, launched a year earlier, and pointed to an expansion of destinations and improved customer satisfaction. "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.

This year, Wizz Air expects to carry 80 million passengers, up from 68.6 million in 2025, he added.

Wizz Air's fleet stands at 262 with an average age of 4.65 years.
