Wizz Air Holdings PLC said Wednesday that it carried more passengers in February than in the same month a year earlier.
The Central and Eastern European low-cost airline said it carried 1.9 million passengers in February compared with 382,928 in the same month of 2021.
For the rolling 12-month period, Wizz Air carried 25.0 million passengers, up from 11.5 million a year before, it said.
Load factor–a measure of how full a plane is–rose to 91.0% from 69.8% in February 2021, taking the total for the rolling 12 months to 77.1%, which is up 10.0 percentage points from the year-earlier period, the company said.
