SMBC Aviation Capital has delivered an Airbus A321-271NX to Wizz Air at the Toulouse facility.
The aircraft marked Wizz Air’s 250th delivery as part of a seven-unit sale-and-leaseback deal. Wizz Air operated the plane through its subsidiary Wizz Air Malta after a Budapest event. SMBC supported Wizz Air’s expansion with modern aircraft that enhanced fuel efficiency. The milestone reflected Wizz Air’s two-decade strategy of innovation and affordable travel.
Peter Barrett shared, “We are delighted to support Wizz Air in reaching this important milestone. Being part of delivering their 250th aircraft is a testament to the strength of our long-standing relationship and to Wizz Air’s growth story. We look forward to continuing to provide modern, fuel-efficient aircraft that enable Wizz Air to pursue its ambitious expansion strategy.”
József Váradi shared, “The 250th aircraft is far more than just adding another aircraft to our fleet – it is a defining moment in Wizz Air’s history. This milestone reflects over two decades of bold decisions, relentless innovation, and the passion of thousands of colleagues and partners who share the same vision and believe in making air travel more affordable and accessible for all. It proves that our strategy is working, and our momentum now is stronger than ever. We remain dedicated to doubling our fleet in the decade ahead and providing ever more low-fare flights to our customers. 250 is not just a number – it is a symbol of our ambition and a launchpad for the next chapter of our journey.”
