DALLAS — Wizz Air (W6) has announced the launch of its first long-haul route using the new Airbus A321XLR aircraft.

Starting June 2, 2025, the airline will operate daily flights between Milan Malpensa and Abu Dhabi. This marks a significant step in W6’s expansion into long-haul travel, leveraging the A321XLR’s extended range and fuel efficiency.

The low-cost airline is positioning this new route as an affordable option for travelers, with fares expected to be up to 70% lower than current competitors. 

The decision to base the A321XLR in Milan aligns with W6's strategy to strengthen its presence in the Italian market while taking advantage of the aircraft's capabilities for intercontinental flights.

József Váradi, Wizz Air’s CEO, highlighted the aircraft’s cost efficiency and extended range as crucial factors in enabling the airline to connect distant destinations and expand its network. Váradi emphasized that the new route will offer unbeatable fares and provide the most sustainable flying option available.

Wizz Air's introduction of the A321XLR paves the way for further intercontinental expansion. It allows the airline to offer ultra-low-cost fares on flights lasting seven to eight hours, enhancing its value proposition for customers.
