The budget carrier on Thursday (5 November) posted a €145 million (£130 million) statutory loss for the six months to 30 September after passenger numbers plummeted more than 70% to just 6.5 million during H1.
Elsewhere, Wizz’s H1 earnings fell 97% from €607 million (£550 million) to €17.3 million (£15.5 million) and its revenue 72% from €1.67 billion (£1.5 billion) to €471 million (£425 million).
Total cash, meanwhile, amounted to €1.56 billion (£1.4 billion) at the end of H1, down from €1.82 billion (£1.65 billion) a year ago, which chief executive Jozsef Varadi attributed to "disciplined cost management" during the coronavirus crisis.
