💸 Wizz Air, a low-cost airline, revised its net profit forecast downwards for the second time for the fiscal year ending March, now expecting between €250-300 million instead of the initially anticipated €350-450 million.

Subsequently, Wizz Air's stock dropped 12 points on the London Stock Exchange after a third-quarter loss of €241.1 million compared to €105.4 million in the same period in 2023. CEO Jozsef Varadi remains optimistic about the company's growth capacity.
