Wizz Air Tweaks Fleet Growth Plans on A321neo Delivery Delays
The LCC nearly halved its expected deliveries of new high-density Airbus A321neo planes next two years to 15 from 29.
The Central Eastern European low-cost carrier has lowered its delivery expectations for the Airbus A321, scaling down from 12 to eight in the financial year ending March 31 and from 19 to nine in the financial year through March 2021.

Continuing production issues of Airbus’s re-engined single-aisle aircraft have forced Wizz Air to revise fleet growth plans, and the Central Eastern European low-cost carrier now anticipates receiving 14 fewer A321neo jets in the current and next financial year than scheduled a couple of months ago. The LCC is expecting to expand its fleet to 121 aircraft—all Airbus narrowbodies—by the end of March 2020 and to 134 units by the end of March 2021, according to Wizz Air’s updated fleet plan released on Wednesday. In July, Wizz Air still had anticipated growing the fleet to 123 and 145 aircraft, respectively. Estimated A321neo deliveries were scaled down from 12 to eight in the financial year ending March 31 and from 19 to nine in the financial year through March 2021.
