Wizz Air has recorded “sky high passenger numbers” between June and August.
The airline said it carried almost 13 million passengers during the peak summer months, representing a 76% growth year-on-year.
The airline said it has continued to expand its network over the summer, adding 63 new routes to 38 destinations across Europe and beyond.
The airline welcomed 13 brand new Airbus aircraft between June and August, taking the size of its fleet to 165.
Wizz Air’s “ultra-modern and efficient fleet” strengthens its position as one of the world’s most sustainable airlines, enabling it to further reduce its environmental footprint by 25% per passenger kilometre by the end of the decade.
The airline now operates more than 60 routes from across the UK.
Reaffirming its continued investment in the market, it recently announced nine new routes from London Luton and Gatwick Airport this autumn, to destinations including Tallin, Estonia; Hurghada, Egypt; Prague, Czech Republic; Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt; Agadir, Morocco; Marrakesh, Morocco; Grenoble, France; and Verona, Italy.
Evelin Jeckel, Network Officer at Wizz Air said: “We are proud to have flown a record number of passengers over the peak summer season, especially given the well-documented challenges facing the entire travel industry.
“The three months was another exciting period of expansion, with some major highlights, including the announcement of 20 new routes from across Europe to Saudi Arabia and the launch of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi flights to Kuwait and the Maldives from October.
“Not only this, but we have relaunched a number of routes in time for the winter season from bases across Europe, giving our customers even more choice when deciding on their next destination.
“We want to thank our loyal customers for continuing to choose Wizz Air for its low fares, diverse route network, great onboard service, and ultra-efficient aircraft.”
