​A rigid financial system is a bottleneck for global scale.

​Join Revolut Business to uncover how Wizz Air is rethinking the business of travel, protecting margins, and building a modern revenue engine with Chief Commercial Officer, Ian Malin.

​To scale in an industry as complex and volatile as aviation, you have to fight for every single percentage point. Most international businesses accept clunky cross-border payments, slow employee expenses, and checkout friction as the unavoidable cost of doing business globally. Wizz Air didn't.

​Recently hitting a record 1,200 flights in a single day, Wizz Air is doing much more than just aggressively expanding its route network. They are completely redefining how a modern airline operates behind the scenes.

​Ian Malin, bringing a rare perspective as Wizz Air’s former CFO turned CCO, will share the operational playbook for taking a business global, navigating industry turbulence, and turning your financial infrastructure into a competitive advantage.

​We will cover:

• ​Scaling Through Turbulence: How Wizz Air maintains ambitious international expansion and protects unit economics despite massive industry supply chain constraints.

• ​From Reactive to Proactive: The operational shift that empowered a 9,000-strong global crew with instant financial access, finally ending the slow, legacy 'reimbursement' culture.

• ​Building a Travel Ecosystem: How Wizz Air goes beyond selling seats—using subscriptions like the Discount Club and Multipass to build a commercial lifestyle brand that locks in loyalty.

• ​The Checkout as a Revenue Driver: Why modernising your payment stack isn't just about saving on FX fees—it’s a strategic commercial move that actively drives higher average order values and reduces cart abandonment.
