Discount carrier Wizz Air Holdings Plc is considering using a new fleet of long-range narrow-body Airbus SE jets to launch flights from London to Dubai and even central Europe to India in a further challenge to network rivals.
The 20 A321 XLR planes ordered last week will allow Wizz to broaden its footprint and beef up capacity on existing destinations, Chief Executive Officer Jozsef Varadi said in an interview. The Budapest-based airline has no plans to deploy them on trans-Atlantic routes.
