Wizz Air highlights record‑low emissions intensity in sustainability report

Wizz Air has highlighted the key messages from its Financial Year 2026 (FY26) Sustainability Report, including the airline’s growing use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

During the financial year, Wizz Air achieved its lowest-ever carbon emissions intensity, reaching 50.6 grams of CO₂ per revenue passenger kilometre (CO₂/RPK), a 3% improvement year-on-year.

In line with its decarbonisation efforts, Wizz Air used more than 27,000 tonnes of SAF during the financial year, as mandated by the EU under ReFuelEU Aviation requirements.

Looking ahead, the airline aims to further scale SAF usage and invest in innovative solutions that support long-term emissions reductions, while continuing to operate efficiently, recognising that the limited availability and higher cost of SAF continue to constrain the pace of aviation decarbonisation.

Dorottya Durucsko, head of government affairs and sustainability at Wizz Air, said:

“At Wizz Air, sustainability is driven by efficiency; how we operate every day through disciplined execution, continuous fleet renewal and an engaged workforce. This allows us to reduce emissions intensity while maintaining a resilient and cost-efficient model. At the same time, further progress will depend on broader industry developments, particularly in scaling SAF and improving system-level efficiency. Our focus is to remain optimised for today, while contributing pragmatically to the long-term decarbonisation of aviation.”
