The European low-cost carrier Wizz Air will be the first airline in the world to be equipped with the A321XLR, powered by Pratt & Whitney engines. The company signed a contract for 47 aircraft, the first of which has already been delivered.

Airbus offers the XLR in two variants. One is powered by CFM Leap-1 engines, and the other by Pratt & Whitney GTF. Wizz Air is the first operator to opt for the P&W variant.

Apart from the engines, the aircraft features a modern cabin architecture equipped with an intelligent lighting system. It is ready to carry 239 passengers on medium-length routes connecting Europe to the Middle East.
