The Wizz Air Holdings PLC (LON: WIZZ) share price edged lower despite the release of upbeat passenger data for November. The company also released its CO2 emissions data for the same month, maintaining its position as one of the airlines with the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger/km.

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi successfully commenced operations from the newly inaugurated Terminal A at Abu Dhabi International Airport, a pioneering move that established it as one of the first national carriers to transition entirely to this state-of-the-art facility.

After conducting a thorough safety assessment, Wizz Air has resumed inbound flights to Chisinau, Moldova, starting December 14. The airline plans to gradually reinstate its operations, including reopening its Chisinau base while prioritising the safety and well-being of its crew and passengers.

In response to the evolving situation in Israel, Wizz Air has temporarily suspended its operations until early January 2024. The airline remains vigilant and ready to redeploy capacity as conditions stabilise.
