It is widely believed that growth is often pursued to the detriment of sustainability. Since aviation is known to be difficult to decarbonise, @wizzair ’s growth, and 40% at that, is often a point of contention.
That said, the airline does two things exceedingly well.
First, through its fleet renewal programme, it adheres to the SBTi’s short-term guidance and blows the competition out of the water — the airline claims to have the lowest emission intensity for any European airline (G/RPK).
Second, its sustainability communications are a stellar paradigm of how to get the message across to conscientious flyers.
What remains to be seen, however, is how the airline navigates the medium- and long-term aspects of emissions reduction.
While new aircraft and high-density flying might statistically lower the carbon intensity, it is undeniable that lower fares, a fast-growing fleet and more passengers in the air are unlikely to add up to a net good.

For Dubai Airports, a net zero target is not the aim – it's about the thousands of small initiatives that reduce the cumulative energy footprint.
When we spoke to DXB CEO Paul Griffiths, he said he's far more interested in what they did yesterday collectively to make sure today is more sustainable than the day before.
"I’ve got an action-oriented agenda, where it’s about thousands of the small things that we can do to make a difference in the here and now.”
And indeed, the results speak for themselves.
