Great news for passengers: Wizz Air’s pioneer ‘All You Can Fly’ pass expansion on the horizon

The Hungary-based low-cost airline, Wizz Air, released its first batch of “All You Can Fly” passes on 13 August and sold 10,000, the entire batch, in just 48 hours. Now, they are assessing “the option to launch another set”, an airline spokesman said.

All You Can Fly pass success

Wizz Air’s “All You Can Fly” pass came as a surprise in August, but it seems the initiative met people’s expectations. According to Bloomberg, the Hungarian budget airline sold the first 10,000 passes in 48 hours. That means they collected an extra EUR 5 million from their passengers, which is good news concerning the airline’s financial difficulties.

We reported before that the airline had to cut back its profit expectations due to the problems with the Pratt & Whitney engines. Because of that, dozens of Wizz Air planes are on the ground for fixing, so the company must operate with lower capacities, meaning an unexpected and uncalculated loss despite the compensation the engine producer pays.

The “All You Can Fly” pass allows the company to reach 100% utilisation in their planes. Passengers with the pass can choose from the remaining unoccupied seats on any Wizz Air flight 72 hours before departure. Experts agree the initiative is a generous offer for those who do not care where they travel. For example, they are digital nomads and can work from anywhere in the world.
