Budapest Airport serves as Wizz Air’s primary hub and maintains various secondary bases throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The airline’s fleet, which is among the most recent in Europe, consists solely of over 150 Airbus A320 family aircraft.
The low-cost carrier model is the central pillar of Wizz Air’s operation, where the airline strives to reduce operating costs while maximizing ancillary revenue from added services. With over 200 destinations spanning 50 countries, it transported nearly 40 million passengers in 2019.
A blend of European and American private investors holds the ownership of Wizz Air, with the most significant share belonging to its founder, József Váradi. The airline offers base fares that are extremely competitive and applies extra charges for virtually all services, such as checked luggage, seat selection, and onboard refreshments.
Wizz Air has experienced swift expansion by setting up bases across Europe and offering prices lower than those of conventional carriers while maintaining a solid financial status. The airline’s lively magenta color scheme and unique Aeron cabin crew uniforms, designed by fashion icon Vivienne Westwood, make it easily recognizable.
