Boss Jozsef Varadi on Thursday (3 August) confirmed Wizz would grow capacity in available seat kilometres by 25% during its first half (six months to 30 September) rather than by 30%. Varadi said 12 engine inspections due over the coming months had contributed to the situation.
Nonetheless, Varadi insisted summer was "going well" operationally and from a revenue perspective, adding that the 5% adjustment would give Wizz an opportunity to drive better yield amid "ongoing market constraints on capacity".
