“Although the remaining order book of Wizz Air, which includes a total of 273 aircraft, remains unchanged, this revised agreement adjusts the delivery schedule to align with a more sustainable and profitable capacity growth trajectory,” stated the airline in a press release.
In recent months, the low-cost airline announced its withdrawal from several markets.
In September, it announced its full progressive withdrawal from Austria.
A few months earlier, in July, it announced its exit from the United Arab Emirates, citing lack of profitability and instability in the Middle East.
In this revised agreement with Airbus, the fleet composition has also changed.
“The fleet is expected to be entirely composed of neo models by 2029,” Wizz Air stated.
Wizz Air currently operates a fleet of 249 Airbus aircraft, A320 and A321, according to figures released by the company.
Founded in 2003, Wizz Air is the seventh-largest European airline by daily flights, behind Air France but ahead of British Airways, according to figures from the air traffic monitoring agency Eurocontrol, dated early June.
