“Working with Skymetrix will enable us to get an even bigger grip on our direct operating costs in our widening network, and will continue to enhance our route profitability as we grow.”

Wizz Air has recently chosen the Skymetrix platform as its new cost management solution, to support the airline’s ambitious growth strategy.
The ultra-low-cost carrier, which was established in 2003, is embarking on an intense period of growth and wants to ensure costs are tightly controlled and back-office efficiencies maximized.
Michael Berlouis, Head of Strategic Projects at Wizz Air, said: “Working with Skymetrix will enable us to get an even bigger grip on our direct operating costs in our widening network, and will continue to enhance our route profitability as we grow.”
Phase 1 of the Skymetrix-Wizz Air implementation has just gone live and has delivered solutions for fuel and navigation cost management.
Phase 2 will begin later this year and will focus on the management of ground handling and airport charges. Our cloud-based platform is replacing legacy technology, namely the airline’s in-house invoice control system.
Michael Berlouis explains why Wizz chose Skymetrix as its partner: “Following a detailed due diligence exercise, it was clear that Skymetrix was leading the market with its powerful all-round functionality. The contract management services offered by Skymetrix add further value to what is already a world-renowned cost control and automated invoice verification software solution.”
The team were also impressed by the platform’s lower total cost of ownership, and the fast ROI.
Skymetrix CEO, Michael Scheidler said: “We are delighted to be working with Wizz Air and supporting its growth journey. We know that when airlines invest in transforming their fuel and cost management with Skymetrix, they can increase their profitability, improve their efficiency, stay competitive, and grow sustainably. We look forward to sharing our expertise and best practice with Wizz Air over the coming months and years, to help them get the most from our platform.”
