Not What You Think: Wizz Air CEO’s Surprising Take On The Airbus A321XLR

Wizz Air once had big plans for the Airbus A321XLR. It had ordered 47 frames, but reduced that to no more than 15 last year; the rest were converted to standard A321neos. It has since been confirmed that it’ll have no more than 11 XLRs. The closing of its Abu Dhabi unit was a factor, as were changes to its broader network as it seeks out what works. It has concluded that it doesn’t need many XLRs.
