Geneva, 4 September 2024: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), one of the most
sustainable European airlines, has announced a new direct route
from Milan to Abu Dhabi, the first route to be confirmed for the
airline's new Airbus A321XLR (Extra Long Range)
aircraft.
The aircraft will be based in Milan
Malpensa, and from 2 Jun 2025 Wizz Air will operate the new direct
route between Milan and Abu Dhabi as a daily service, a flight over
7 hours, making it more accessible than ever before with fares that
are 70% lower than the current competitors' offer. This is the
first Wizz Air route to leverage the Airbus A321XLR's extended
range and efficiency, which has the potential to revolutionize
intercontinental travel. The strategic
decision to base the Airbus A321XLR in Milan reflects Wizz Air's
commitment to strengthen its Italian network and expand its
reach.
Speaking at a press conference in Milan earlier today, József
Váradi, CEO of Wizz Air, said: "The
Airbus A321XLR is the most cost-efficient aircraft of its class
and, given the enhanced range capability, it enables Wizz Air to
connect the furthest destinations in its network and further expand
it, connecting cultures and continents. We're excited to unlock
unbeatable fares for our customers on the newly announced route to
Abu Dhabi, while offering the most sustainable option for
flying. We are already flying several 5-6
hour long ultra-low-cost routes with great satisfaction to our
customers, and the XLR will extend our outstanding value
proposition to 7-8-hour long flights."
Wizz Air is anticipating the
delivery of 8 Airbus A321XLR aircraft in CY2025, of a total of 47
on order.
