Wizz Air, one of the fastest-growing
airlines in Europe, has taken delivery of its 100th Airbus A320 Family

Foreign Affairs; Mr. József Váradi, WIZZ’s Chief Executive
Officer; Dr. Andreas Kramer, Airbus Vice President Sales Eastern
Europe and Central Asia; as well as Mrs. Jessica Villardi, Pratt &
Whitney Regional Vice President, Europe, Russia & CIS.
“Wizz
Air started to operate its first Airbus aircraft 14 years ago.
Today Wizz Air has become a true success story, and we are proud
to have played a major role in this journey, providing the most
efficient aircraft with the lowest operating costs combined with
unbeatable comfort in the widest single aisle cabin in the skies,”
