Out of Wizz Air’s total 234 aircraft, 152 are Airbus A321neo, six are A320neo, and one is the Airbus A321XLR, meaning more than 67% of the fleet is powered by next-generation technology.

The Airbus A321neo plays a 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.
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.”
