Pratt & Whitney Wins Order to Power Up to 200 Wizz Air A320neo Aircraft

Will Fly With PurePower Geared Turbofan Engines

Wizz Air has selected Pratt & Whitney's PurePower Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines to power its order of 110 firm Airbus A320neo family aircraft with purchase rights for up to 90 more.

"Following a detailed review process we concluded that the Geared Turbofan engine delivers the best value proposition as well as maximum fuel and operational efficiency. These metrics will translate directly into reduced operating costs for our business. While we already have a very low cost base, our focus is to be ever more efficient to offer the lowest fares for our customers while driving strong returns for shareholders," said József Váradi,  Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air.

"We thank Wizz Air for their confidence in our Pratt & Whitney PurePower Geared Turbofan engine," said Rick Deurloo, senior vice president, Commercial Engines Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support, Pratt & Whitney.  "We're providing more than just an engine; we're delivering a revolution in sustainable aviation technology."

The Pratt & Whitney PurePower Geared Turbofan engine is demonstrating mature reliability levels of approximately 99.8 percent, and has met all of its performance commitments from the start including a 16 percent reduction in fuel burn, a 75 percent decrease in the noise footprint and a 50 percent reduction in regulated emissions.
