Wizz Air, EMEA’s most environmentally sustainable airline*, today launched its comprehensive net zero roadmap – Flying Towards Net Zero. The roadmap offers a realistic path focused on the three F’s – flights (30% emissions reductions from new aircraft technology and fleet renewal), fuel (53% emissions reductions from SAF) and footprint (4% emissions reductions from air traffic management modernisation).

The Company, as part of its recently announced Customer First Compass initiative, has invested €14 billion to enhance its operations, including investments in the latest technology aircraft and SAF production. This response demonstrates its commitment to Flying Towards Net Zero so that aviation can continue to play a central role in Europe’s connectivity and economic growth.

Climate change continues to pose significant business and financial risks. Therefore, the commitment to addressing these challenges is not just an environmental imperative for the Company, but also a strategic necessity for long-term sustainability, competitiveness and resilience for the European aviation sector.
