Hungary-based low-cost airline Wizz Air carried 15.8 million passengers in 2014, an increase of 17% as compared to the previous year, the airline reported today.

At year-end, the airline had flights on sale to 106 destinations in 37 countries and a total of 355 routes. Wizz Air’s fleet consists of 54 Airbus A320 aircraft serving 18 bases across 10 countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

“2014 was another great year for Wizz Air marked by a network of more countries and destinations on more routes than ever before. We carried 2.3 million more passengers than a year ago. We are set for further growth on the back of our continuing fleet and network expansion in 2015 to bring more low fares to more travelers in Central and Eastern Europe. We are proud of contributing to the economic development of our markets and creating new direct and indirect job opportunities resulting from our growth” József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air, said.
