Wizz Air, the largest Central and Eastern European low budget airline, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to buy 50 more A320s. This will take their total orders up to 132 aircraft. All Wizz Air aircrafts will be configured in a comfortable single-class layout, giving room to up to180 passengers. The engine has not been chosen yet.The new A320 order will allow Wizz Air to reinforce and expand its extensive network established at 11 operating bases, in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Czech Republic.

It will also allow the airline to add new destinations to its 130 existing routes. This new large A320 order will enable Wizz Air to reinforce its strong position in the region. The rapidly expanding Central and Eastern Europe's low-cost low fare airline already operates a young and eco-efficient Airbus fleet of 24 A320s.
