PRAGUE, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Wizz Air (WIZZ.L), opens new tab aims to end engine-related groundings of its Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab aircraft by the end of 2027, but has yet to see an improvement in Pratt & Whitney (RTX.N), opens new tab bottlenecks blamed for blocking dozens of jets, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

The number of aircraft grounded by long waiting times for inspections has fallen to 38 from a peak near 60, CFO Ian Malin said. At the half-year stage, Wizz said it had 41 aircraft grounded due to GTF engine-related inspections.

"Overall, the plan right now is to get the entire fleet unparked by the end of calendar year 2027. That is the target that we're working towards," he told the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT) conference in Prague.

"That will be challenging, especially when we're sitting here with 38 aircraft (on the ground)," he said.

Wizz Air CEO Jozsef Varadi told Bloomberg in September that he aimed to turn Wizz Air's fortunes around by mid-2027.

Happy with the figures. I am just hoping that they are actually making money snd it’s not just costs.

Judging by the nearly 6% shorts I don’t expect the results tomorrow to be good. I hope I am wrong.

Have increased again standing at 4.91%. I just hope half year results in Nov show some improvement. At the moment shorters can do what they like with this share.

Snip from the article: So far in 2025, Wizz Air has operated more than 29,000 flights in Spain, which is a 17.5% increase compared to the same period last year. In total, it has transported 6.4 million passengers, reflecting year-on-year growth of 22.4%. The airline also reports a reliability rate of 99.8% and a 16.6% improvement in punctuality.

Thank you @B777. D.E.SHAW has dropped another 0.1% of their shorts. Total stands at 4.45% .

@B777 would you be able to explain it in simpler term please (The CEO attributed Wizz Air's competitive disadvantage primarily to aircraft financing costs, arguing the rival had "very expensively" financed aircraft through its principal shareholder before refinancing through "ludicrous sale and leaseback deals".)
