Hungarian Wizz Air receives bad news: panic over losing thousands of passengers
Change language:
A recent survey by Which? reveals that, for the second year running, Wizz Air has earned the unenviable title of the worst airline according to British travellers. Struggling with engine failures, the company now faces the prospect of further loss of passengers following this disheartening news. Responding to the findings, the UK managing director of Wizz Air shared their perspective, which we share in this article.
The Independent has dedicated a long article to dissecting Wizz Air’s disappointing standing in the United Kingdom, delving into the insights provided by the Which? survey. In essence, the Hungarian airline finds itself at the bottom of the rankings primarily due to dissatisfaction with its customer service and perceived lack of value for money, particularly concerning short-haul flights.
Hungarian airline in trouble
Which? conducted a comprehensive survey encompassing 10,775 flights, seeking passengers’ opinions on various aspects such as customer service, value for money, seat comfort and dining options. UK travellers voiced complaints against the Hungarian budget carrier for frequent delays and poor customer service, with one passenger expressing frustration at the difficulty of communication when seeking assistance.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the airline received a mere one-star rating for customer service, translating to a dismal 44% satisfaction index, trailing behind Ryanair at 47%, Iberia at 49% and Vueling at 53%. However, Wizz Air’s underperformance extends beyond customer service, with below par ratings across other categories, including value for money, despite its positioning as a budget carrier offering competitive fares.
