Wizz Air Recognized as One of the World's Safest Airlines

Low‑cost air carrier Wizz Air has been ranked again among the world’s top 50 safest airlines and among the top 10 safest low‑cost airlines globally by Airline Ratings, the global authority on airline safety, product quality, and passenger reviews, Wizz Air says in a press release.

“At Wizz Air, safety is the foundation of every decision we make. This recognition from Airline Ratings reflects our strong safety culture, the professionalism of our people, and our continuous investment into training, modern aircraft and operational discipline,” according to József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air. “Our reliable performance in challenging winter conditions further demonstrates the strength of our procedures. Being recognised among the world’s safest airlines again – and ranked so highly among global low‑cost carriers – reinforces our commitment to operational excellence. We are grateful to our exceptional colleagues for their outstanding work and to Airline Ratings for this recognition,” he added.

“Wizz Air has again demonstrated strong performance, earning a place in the top 10 where margins between operators remain extremely tight,” Sharon Petersen, CEO of Airline Ratings, pointed out. “Their low average fleet age and favourable incident rate, particularly when benchmarked against total take-offs and landings, are notable. We look forward to closer engagement with Wizz Air in 2026 to further explore their safety initiatives and operational framework,” he stated.

Airline Ratings evaluates carriers across a range of criteria, including fleet age and size, pilot training and expertise, incident history, and more.
