Wizz Air is concentrating on reinforcing its existing network as the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) regains its footing following fleet groundings and supply chain disruptions. Instead of aggressively entering new markets, the Budapest-based airline is prioritizing densification—maximizing efficiency on current routes. According to CEO József Váradi, this strategy is the “safest way to grow,” ensuring stability as the airline moves past operational hurdles.

The airline has faced significant challenges due to ongoing Pratt & Whitney GTF engine issues, which led to aircraft groundings and capacity constraints. However, with supply chain conditions improving, Wizz Air is gradually restoring its fleet and ramping up operations. The carrier anticipates an annual capacity growth rate of 15-20% over the next five years as more grounded aircraft return to service and new Airbus A321neos join the fleet.

By focusing on strengthening its existing network, Wizz Air aims to enhance reliability, optimize efficiency, and secure long-term growth while navigating the evolving aviation landscape.
