Wizz Air today announces that the Airbus A321neo single-aisle aircraft now comprises two-thirds of its operational fleet.
Out of Wizz Air’s total 234 aircraft, 152 are Airbus A321neo, six are A320neo, and one is Airbus A321XLR, meaning more than 67% of the fleet is powered by next-generation technology.
In line with its ongoing commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability, Wizz Air aims to operate an all-neo fleet by 2029.
The Airbus A321neo will play a critical role in delivering a 7% reduction in Wizz Air’s emissions intensity by 2050.
The aircraft also offers a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to previous generation aircraft, alongside a 50% reduction in noise pollution.
Customer First Compass: Enhancing the passenger experience
Operating an all-neo aircraft fleet is part of the airline’s Customer First Compass commitment to operating one of the youngest, safest and fuel-efficient fleets in the industry.
This £12 billion transformation plan underscores the airline’s dedication to delivering an exceptional travel experience, supported by advanced operational technologies.
Yvonne Moynihan, corporate and ESG Officer at Wizz Air, said: “Achieving two-thirds fleet modernisation with the A321neo is not just a milestone for Wizz Air – it’s a symbol of our commitment to providing the most innovative options.
“The introduction of our Customer First Compass earlier this year marks our dedication to investing in areas that make a meaningful impact for our customers and the planet.
“The A321neo is central to our strategy, enabling lower emissions while maintaining the affordable fares our customers value.”
Fleet renewal is one the main cornerstones of Wizz Air’s Flying Towards Net-Zero roadmap, which outlines the role the airline will play in the decarbonisation.
