Wizz Air heads a list of six carriers with £5.4 million in outstanding court judgements following flight disruption, promoting calls for the CAA to be given greater powers.

Wizz Air headed the list of county court cases following wide scale disruption in 2022

The carrier had more than 2,500 outstanding county court judgments (CCJs) totalling almost £3.2 million although it told Which?, the magazine that published the data, it had satisfied most cases.

Court data for the period to the end of September showed Tui had 1,359 pending cases, owing £1.56 million. EasyJet owed £387,000 to 512 applicants, with Ryanair, British Airways registering far smaller amounts and Jet2 just four outstanding.
