The plan to launch Wizz Air was conceived in June 2003 when six people with a wide range of airline expertise and successful track records teamed up with József Váradi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Today, Wizz Air is a group of four airlines: Wizz Air Hungary (founded in 2003), Wizz Air UK (founded in 2017), Wizz Air Abu Dhabi (founded in 2020) and Wizz Air Malta (founded in 2022).
