Wizz Air buys 75 Airbus jets, targets fleet of 500
Wizz Air will buy an additional 75 Airbus A321neo aircraft, with a stated goal of reaching 500 jets in its fleet by 2030.
It is exercising the option for the 75 planes from its 2021 order of 102 A321s.
Those aircraft will be delivered between 2025 and 2027.
The further 75 are expected to be delivered between 2028 and 2029, although it said delivery dates are ‘subject to agreement with Airbus and the undisclosed transaction requires shareholder approval.’
CEO Jozsef Varadi said: “The combination of Wizz Air’s ultra-low cost operation and the market-leading Airbus A321neo aircraft together create a strong platform for Wizz Air’s future growth.”
“We remain on track to become a 500 aircraft airline group by the end of the decade while delivering our commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25% by 2030.”
