Wizz Air's new Airbus A321XLR
Wizz Air has announced the entry into the fleet of its first Airbus A321XLR, a historic milestone that makes it the first ultra-low-cost carrier in the world to operate intercontinental routes with this next-generation aircraft.
An evolution of the Airbus A320neo family, the A321XLR redefines the possibilities of the single aisle, offering extra-long range, superior comfort and unrivalled operational efficiency. Routes longer than six hours will no longer be the exclusive preserve of wide-bodies: Wizz Air now serves them with even lower fares, without sacrificing the quality of the journey.
An on-board experience designed for the future
Passengers can expect:
- modern and spacious cabins, with the brand's signature comfort,
- more direct connections, eliminating stopovers and downtime,
- ultra-competitive rates, always respecting the customer experience,
- lower environmental impact, thanks to cleaner and more advanced technology.
The cabin is also equipped with seats in Essence material developed by Gen Phoenix, which are entirely recyclable and designed for the circular economy: a concrete gesture to reduce waste and carbon footprint, without sacrificing style and durability.
Technology at the service of the environment
The A321XLR also marks a turning point in terms of the environment: it reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions per seat by 30% compared to previous generation aircraft. This is thanks to an advanced aerodynamic design, Pratt & Whitney GTF engines and state-of-the-art on-board systems that make every flight quieter and more sustainable.
Customer First: More Value, Less Impact
The introduction of this new aircraft is part of Wizz Air's Customer First Compass strategy, renewing its commitment to innovation, accessibility and sustainability. With more than 300 new aircraft ordered and one of the youngest fleets in Europe, the airline is preparing to expand its network in Europe, Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East.
The six A321XLR that will enter service in 2025 will mark the beginning of a new phase: more destinations, more efficiency, more possibilities to fly long-haul at unbeatable fares.
