Hungarian airline Wizz Air commits to being one of the greenest

Wizz Air is launching the Wizz Air – Fly the Greenest Sustainability Campaign, which could further strengthen its position as an industry leader as the greenest airline.

Wizz Air sent a statement containing their aims and goals to iho.hu.

New campaign

Wizz Air’s latest campaign aims to raise awareness of the company’s sustainability efforts. Wizz Air CEO József Váradi wrote an open letter to travellers, outlining the airline’s seven green steps and encouraging them to make the right decision when flying.

7 points

Wizz Air, Europe’s fastest-growing airline, is committed to serving more and more passengers in the most sustainable way possible. Here are seven reasons why Wizz Air is the greenest choice when it comes to air travel:

1. The average carbon footprint of a passenger travelling on a Wizz Air plane is only 57.2 grams per passenger kilometre (pre-epidemic level). If all airlines were as efficient as Wizz Air, CO2 emissions from European aviation would be reduced by thirty-four per cent in one day.
2. Wizz Air does not fly half-empty aircraft, in order to avoid unnecessary pollution.
3. Wizz Air does not have a first class, which is also one of the factors of unnecessary emissions.
4. The airline only flies on direct routes. One takeoff, one landing, no transfers, no extra fuel burning.
5. Wizz Air has the youngest, most modern fleet of competing airlines in Europe.
6. The airline uses world-class engines and aircraft, which are key to low emissions.
7. There is no direct train route of less than four hours on any of Wizz Air’s routes.
