Wizz stays with P&W for another 166 Airbus jets
Wizz Air is staying with Pratt & Whitney for another 166 Airbus A320neo-family jets. The agreement to take the PW1100G engine covers 90 aircraft from a 2016 deal plus a further 56 A320neos. It also covers the 20 A321XLRs recently ordered by the carrier – although Wizz had already indicated that it would fit the Pratt & Whitney engine to these long-haul variants. Wizz Air has previously selected the PW1100G for other A320neo-family jets on order. The airline received its first, an A321neo, in March last year. Pratt & Whitney says the latest selection brings Wizz Air’s overall orders to 276 aircraft powered by the PW1100G. The manufacturer will also provide long-term maintenance service for the powerplants. <br/>
