Wizz Air welcomed its latest A321neo aircraft in a special livery to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The aircraft brings its fleet of A321neos to 132.
The livery was designed by Éva Kerényi, the winner of a design competition ran by the low-cost airline last year. “I was inspired by the logo of Wizz Air, which features the airplane as the vein of the leaf,” said Kerényi. “This is why I stuck with the main motif of the leaf; I thought of subtle fine lines with ever-growing leaves, and the signature Wizz Air colour scheme, pink and blue, coming together.
Wizz Air said the new livery is a vibrant testament to its commitment to sustainability while celebrating its iconic brand colours.
The design features interwoven leaves wrapping the fuselage in the airline’s classic pink and blue hues with invigorating pop of green, creating a dynamic pattern that embodies Wizz Air’s spirit.
Wizz Air’s chief corporate officer Owain Jones commented: “Over the past 20 years, Wizz Air’s success has been underpinned by its exceptional fleet strategy. From day one, we have been operating state-of-the-art Airbus A320 Family aircraft. Deliveries of the Airbus A321neo started in 2019 and have fuelled Wizz Air’s growth, making it the fastest-growing airline in Europe.”
The A321neo has played a vital role to the airline’s sustainability goals.
