The airline becomes the first ultra-low-cost carrier to offer intercontinental routes with its new Airbus A321XLR
Equipping its network with the XLR enables Wizz Air to offer non-stop long-haul flights previously only offered by wide-body, high-fare operators.
At the launch event in Hamburg, Wizz Air CCO Owain Jones described the plane's arrival as "a defining moment for Wizz Air and our valued customers.
"This aircraft is one of the great results of our two decades-long successful cooperation with our key partner, Airbus, that brings a revolution to air travel, enabling us to offer non-stop intercontinental routes at unbeatable prices while maintaining our commitment to efficiency and flying with lower emissions."
