From its launch in 2003, Wizz Air has focused on maintaining a lean low-cost operation backed by a strong ancillary revenue strategy. This has allowed the airline to grow while maintaining a healthy net profit margin and favorable cash flow. This year, Wizz Air added 125 new routes and earned a separate Wizz Air UK operating license which will help protect the airline from potential Brexit service interruptions. Wizz Air was also sitting on over €1.316 billion in unrestricted cash at the end of the financial year.
