Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air has taken the ultra low-cost model a step further to pursue growth and sustainability in tandem. 

In this episode, we talk to Wizz Air Group’s Chief Corporate & ESG Officer, Yvonne Moynihan, about how the carrier has reduced its per seat carbon footprint by 15% since 2019, despite having grown by a remarkable 140% since the pandemic!

We'll learn about why fleet renewal can help airlines achieve significant short-term emissions reduction and how Wizz Air focuses on young travellers and undertakes radical measures and advocacy to stay ahead of its competitors.
