Wizz Air Exercises Purchase Rights on Another 75 A321neos

Sept. 15, 2022

Budapest — European budget airline Wizz Air is exercising its purchase option for another 75 medium-haul A321neo jets.

Budapest-based Wizz Air's major shareholder Indigo Partners had ordered a total of 255 aircraft from Airbus' A321neo series last November. Of those, 102 were intended for Wizz Air, including 75 of the medium-haul jets and 27 of the long-range A321XLR variant.

With the purchase option now drawn, the number of A321neos ordered has doubled to 150. Wizz Air shareholders still have to approve the increase.
