Wizz Air has said several "encouraging trends" have given the budget carrier a sustained recovery from the Covid crisis this year, despite posting a €576 million (£497 million) full-year loss for the year to 31 March.

Wizz expects to operate to 30% capacity during Q1 2021/22

Boss Jozsef Varadi said he was "cautiously optimistic" about the business’s recovery from the pandemic, despite it coming later than the carrier would have liked owing to Covid travel restrictions in Europe remaining in place "longer than anticipated".


Varadi said Wizz’s 2021/22 full-year (12 months to 31 March 2022) would continue to be a "transitional year", adding: "Whereas the recovery pattern continues to be difficult to forecast, the trends are encouraging and we are ready as ever."
