NEWS FLASH
Low cost carrier Wizz Air, which boasts bases in Belgrade, Skopje and Tuzla, and operates across all markets in the former Yugoslavia, has the fourth youngest fleet in the world among airlines with more than 100 aircraft, according to the Swiss aviation data analysis center "Ch-aviation". On average, Wizz planes are 5.43 years old. In Europe, only Russia's Aeroflot has a younger fleet, with an average age of 4.7 years. The two other airlines with younger aircraft are Hainan Airlines (5.06 years), and Saudia (5.13 years). Wizz Airʼs British subsidiary Wizz Air UK has the second youngest standing fleet among subsidiaries in the world, with the average age of 0.95 years. The youngest fleet is operated by Norwegian Air Sweden (0.74 years). Wizz Air's fleet is becoming increasingly environmentally friendly as it continues to acquire new aircraft, the airline says. Its first Airbus A321neo jet arrived at its Budapest base in March. Currently, a total of six such planes are in service in Budapest. The airline currently has 274 aircraft orders, including twenty A321XLR long-range planes. “Safety remains the first and foremost concern for Wizz Air, and for years we have been continuously expanding and rejuvenating our well-maintained fleet with new aircraft”, Diederik Pen, the airline's Executive Vice President and Group Chief Operating Officer, said.
