Wizzair confirms interest in flying London to Dubai with the A321XLR

Wizz Air Eyes London To Dubai Flights With Airbus A321XLR

Will be an interesting development if this happens, but is a few years away until they A321XLR. I guess if Transavia can make it work from Amsterdam and Norwegian from Scandanavia (which are similar length routes with 737s) and are competing directly with Emirates and the associated flag carriers from this countries, Wizz can make it work too!

They also state they have no interest in using the new longer range A321XLRs on transatlantic routes from the UK.

Even if the London to Dubai routes does happen, no guarantee it will be from Luton, as not sure what the aircraft type will be like on Luton's short-ish runway, and they are showing a real interest in expanding at Gatwick. Looking to buy up Thomas Cook's slots!
