MAY 2024 TRAFFIC AND CO2 EMISSION STATISTICS

WIZZ AIR CARRIED 5.1 MILLION PASSENGERS

Ticker:  WIZZ

Geneva, 4 June 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most
sustainable European airlines, today announces passenger and CO(2) emission
statistics for May 2024.

In May 2024, Wizz Air carried 5,130,316 passengers at a load factor of 91.0%.
Capacity operated during the month was up 1.2% yoy, reflecting the continuing
impact of GTF engine-related groundings. The load factor improved by 0.7ppts
versus last year, reflecting strong management action in balancing passenger
volumes and yield progression.

During the month:

-       Wizz Air celebrated the 20(th) anniversary of its first flight
from Katowice to London Luton which took place in May 2004.

-       Wizz Air was named Best Low-Cost Airline in Central and Eastern
Europe and was recognized for the Best Cabin Crew from passengers in the
region, at the CEESAR awards.

-       For the month of May, CO(2) emissions were 52.9 grams per
passenger/km. This is 1.5% higher than the same month last year, given
suboptimal fleet mix due to the A321neo groundings.
