Wizz Air has announced that two-thirds of its operational fleet are now powered by neo engines.

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. In line with its strategy to operate with an ever-higher efficiency, the airline aims to operate an all-neo fleet by 2029.

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.”
