Wizz Air have taken delivery of its 170th Airbus aircraft – an A321neo – which will support its operations in Catania International Airport.

The airline operates a fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft, the largest operator of this type in Europe.

The new Airbus A321neo incorporates the latest technologies in aviation and offers significant environmental benefits, with a nearly 50% reduction in noise footprint, a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and 50% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions.

Owain Jones, Chief Development Officer at Wizz Air, said: “Our significant outstanding orderbook will power both growth and fast fleet renewal, maintaining Wizz Air’s average fleet age as one of the youngest of any major airline.  As Wizz Air continues to take new aircraft deliveries, more passengers than ever before will be able to travel across our network to some of the most exciting destinations.”
