In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Zawya said that Wizz Air reported that its average carbon emissions for 2023 amounted to 51.5 grams per passenger/km, 6.8% lower than in 2022. This represents Wizz Air’s lowest ever average annual carbon intensity result recorded in one calendar year, underpinning its leadership in the CO2 intensity reduction among competitors, according to the report. As part of its sustainability strategy, Wizz Air partnered with two sustainable aviation fuel producers in 2023 namely Neste and Cepsa. To further support SAF development, the airline made its first equity investment in Firefly Green Fuels, a UK biofuel company, and participated in a $50 million investment in the US-based SAF start-up CleanJoule. In May 2023, Wizz Air became the first airline in Hungary to commercially test SAF supply.
