Low-cost revolution? Passenger traffic of Wizz Air and Ryanair grows unstoppably
The passenger traffic of both of the most popular low-cost carriers, Irish Ryanair and Hungarian Wizz Air, is growing unstoppably.
Millions of passengers chosing low-cost airlines
Ryanair ended its strongest month of all time in August, transporting 18.9 million passengers, 11% more than last year in the same month, Világgazdaság reports.
The utilisation of the Irish low-cost airline’s flights remained unchanged at 96%. Ryanair operated more than 103,000 flights, of which a total of 350 flights were canceled at the end of the month due to a failure of the British NATS air traffic control system. This means a completion rate of 99.997%.
Wizz Air grows unstoppably
At Wizz Air, the number of passengers increased even more sharply: 24% more people, 6,143,859, boarded the flights of the domestic discount service provider in August, and the utilisation rate improved from 90.5% to 94.1%. The completion rate of the Hungarian airline was 99.6%.
Last month, Wizz launched its new flight from London’s Luton Airport to Cairo’s Sphinx Airport, Világgazdaság adds. Since the company moved in, the number of passengers departing from Luton – where Wizz Air is the largest airline – exceeded 65 million in the month in question.
Cabin crew certificates, carbon dioxide emissions
The company recently received permission from the Ministry of Construction and Transport to issue cabin crew certificates valid in all EU countries to the flight attendants it trains.
Wizz Air also announced that its carbon dioxide emissions were 51.9 grams per passenger kilometer in the last 12 months, compared to only 50.5 grams in August. According to the management, this is currently the lowest value on the market.

We flew Ryanair – Budapest to Stockholm earlier this week.
We paid for a larger case excess luggage – as our stay is 4 days.
We did the RIGHT thing.
It astounds me, our aircraft was 99% full, the numbers of passengers that got on the plane with – in my opinion, oversized cases – back packs which possible are over-weight.
Women in front of us, climbing from the tarmac up the stairs of the aircraft, she literally fell over at the top of the stairs through the weight of her case.
This NEEDS urgent attention as it’s out of control.
Police it at the check in TIGHTER.
Double Check it at gateway, when boarding passes are checked at gate-way to lounge awaiting loading onto aircraft.
We are very regular travellers and this is ANNOYING – its WRONG and needs URGENT attention by Ryanair.
Enjoy it while it lasts. The globalist-socialist overlords will put a kibosh on it before long. Protect The Environment®, of course, will be the excuse.
