Wizz Air Cuts Emissions Per Passenger, But Climate Impact Is Rising
Wizz Air's path to net zero is paved with low-emissions aircraft and ambitious targets. But without breakthroughs in sustainable fuel and supportive regulation, the airline and the wider industry may fall short of climate goals. Wizz Air, a Hungarian low-cost carrier, has cut emissions per passenger to some of the lowest levels in the industry. But as the airline rapidly expands, its overall climate impact is rising, with total emissions more than doubling since 2019. In its latest sustainability report for the year ending March 2025, the low-cost airline said its carbon intensity - a measure of emissions per passenger - fell to 52.2 grams of CO₂ per passenger-kilometer. That's lower than many of Wizz's rivals and the airline credits the low level to investment in part to more fuel-efficient aircraft. Low-cost carriers like Wizz, Ryanair and EasyJet tend to have lower emissions per passenger than traditional airlines because they carry more people per flight. No business class, fewer empty seats, and tight cabin configurations all mean more passengers are sharing each litre of fuel. In 2024, EasyJet reported 66.64 grams per passenger kilometre on average, while Ryanair averaged around 64 grams. Fleet Strategy vs. Emissions Reality Wizz added 26 new Airbus A321neo jets over the year, bringing its total fleet to 231 aircraft. Most of those are NEO models, which are significantly more fuel efficient. Wizz said it aims to operate an all-NEO fleet by 2029. 'Our emissions per passenger remain among the lowest in the industry,' said Yvonne Moynihan, Wizz Air's Corporate and ESG Officer. 'This underscores our commitment to minimizing environmental impact on a per-flight basis.' Because of the growth, despite carbon intensity improvements, Wizz Air's absolute emissions have nearly doubled since 2019, a reminder that efficiency alone doesn't equate to sustainability. Moynihan attributed the rise to rapid expansion under Wizz Air's 'WIZZ500' vision, which targets a doubling of the fleet by 2033. 'This growth contributes to higher overall emissions,' she said. 'But we emphasize carbon intensity per passenger-kilometer as a more relevant metric for assessing environmental impact.' Long-Term Net Zero Strategy Wizz Air reiterated its ambition to reduce their emissions to almost zero by 2050. The company said that this is structured around three pillars: Aircraft fleet renewal: This will account for 30% of the planned reduction. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF): 53% of total fuel use by 2050. Air traffic management and operational improvements: To help reduce emission by 4%. Moynihan acknowledged that deeper emissions cuts will depend on scaling up SAF, which remains marginal across the industry. Wizz has not disclosed the current share of SAF in its operations. 'We are actively pursuing fleet renewal and operational efficiency,' Moynihan said. 'But broader reforms are needed across the industry to ensure success.'

EasyJet cabin crews in Malaga, Alicante and other Brit holiday hotspots to go on strike
Around 650 members of staff are set to walk out on these dates Hundreds of airline workers based in a number of popular holiday destinations are set to go on strike. EasyJet cabin crew members in Spain will go on strike over their pay for three days next week. It is thought more than 650 flight attendants, based in Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga and Palma de Mallorca, will be involved. According to the Unión Sindical Obrera (USO) union, the industrial action will take place from Wednesday June 25 to Friday June 27. But, as reported by Sky News, the airline said it intended to operate normally and hoped to avoid any disruption. USO explained that the strike action comes as easyJet cabin crews allegedly earn much less in Spain than in other countries. It is claimed that staff at Spanish bases receive between 30 per cent and 200 per cent less in wages than those at other European bases. It is hoped the strike would "level the crews' working and wage conditions in Spain with the ones at other bases of the company in Europe". A spokesperson for the airline said it would do everything it could to minimise the impact of the strikes. An EasyJet spokesperson told The Mirror: "EasyJet has been advised of strike action by its Spain-based cabin crew at its Barcelona, Malaga, Alicante and Palma bases on June 25, 26 and 27. 'We currently plan to operate our full schedule as normal and would like to reassure customers that we will do all possible to minimise the impact of any action." They said that easyJet employed crews in eight different countries "on local terms and conditions". Regulations in Spain mean that airline workers must provide a minimum level of service during industrial action to limit disruption. EasyJet is one of the most popular airlines in the UK, with around 36 million British passengers flying with the company in 2023. The demonstrations come ahead of easyJet's planned reopening of its Newcastle base in spring 2026, nearly five years after its COVID-19-related closure. The budget airline reported a pre-tax loss of £394 million for the six months to the end of March, compared to losses of £350 million last year. However, officials said the figure showed a "slight improvement" of around £50 million when this year's later Easter date was taken into account. EasyJet also said the number of passengers it carried in the first three months of 2025 was 18.2 million, up eight per cent compared with a year ago.
