Wizz Air has reached a milestone by taking delivery of its 200th Airbus A321neo. The airline is transitioning to a unified neo fleet by 2029 to lower its operational carbon footprint. The A321neo aircraft uses Pratt & Whitney engines to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 20 percent compared to previous generations. This shift is part of a broader strategy to improve emissions intensity across its flight network.

Wizz Air is betting hard on the A321neo to cut emissions. 20 percent fuel reduction is a decent jump, but the real question is how this offsets the total increase in flight volume as they expand.
Exactly. Efficiency per seat is one thing, but absolute emissions usually climb when fleets grow this fast. I wonder if their reporting accounts for the total carbon increase or just the intensity per passenger.
The hardware is efficient, but the long term play for aviation is sustainable aviation fuel. These planes can handle it, but the supply chain for SAF is still a mess. Does Wizz Air have any actual procurement contracts for green fuel?
