Wizz Air last week began operations with its first 230-seat Airbus A321ceo1.
“The biggest benefit of the A321 for our passengers is the lower fares we can offer as result of its greater efficiency versus our current A320s.” said John Stephenson, Wizz Air executive vice president. “The A321 boasts a new, modern interior, and will further lower our environmental footprint.”

Following this delivery, WIZZ has 26 additional current-production A321ceo aircraft on order with Airbus for delivery through 2018, including the second in December and nine in calendar year 2016. The first four A321ceos will be based in Budapest and subsequent deliveries will be deployed on the most popular routes in the growing Wizz Air network. Earlier this year, Wizz Air made headlines at the Paris Air Show with a further order of 110 Airbus A321neo2 aircraft for delivery from 2019 through 2024.

Wizz Air recently announced a leasing agreement with CDB Leasing (the leasing arm of China Development Bank) to finance six Airbus A321ceo aircraft, including the two A321s delivered this year.

1 Airbus A321ceo stands for current engine option and is the model being delivered to Wizz Air through 2018. Wizz Air uses the IAE V2500 engine on its A320ceo and A321ceo aircraft.

2 Airbus A321neo stands for new engine option and promises even more efficient operation with new technology engines. Wizz Air has not yet made a choice for the engine on its newly ordered 110 Airbus A321neo aircraft that will begin being delivered in 2019.
