Wizz Air Holdings PLC (AIM:WIZZ) said passenger numbers surged by 416% to 2.48 million in March, with the load factor rising to 86.2% from 62.5% in the same month last year and capacity (seats) rising 273.9%.
The month also saw an increase of 439.8% in traffic measured in revenue passenger kilometers, while available seat kilometers increased by 294.1%.

Wizz Air announced last week that it is expanding its UK service and is hoping to hire over 100 new cabin crew for its Airbus A320 fleet. To sweeten the deal, the airline said it is offering the "biggest ever pay rise for its UK crew members".
The airline said it has extended its offer of 100,000 free seats for Ukrainian refugees on all flights leaving from Ukraine's border countries (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania) until 10 April 2022.
The airline operates a fleet of 153 Airbus A320s and A321s.
