Wizz Air

Wizz Air continuously added new Airbus A321neo aircraft to its fleet and replacing older aircraft, with 34 Airbus A321neo added to the fleet during the year 2022, with sights set to surpass 50% by the end of this financial year.

As it stands currently, Wizz Air operates a fleet of 177 Airbus aircraft with an average age of 4.6 years, well below the average age of its major competitors, which is around 10 years/a decade of time.

“We are proud to offer Wizz Air passengers the most environmentally responsible choice when they choose to fly” Johan Eidhagen, Chief People and ESG Officer at Wizz Air said in an official statement.
