Translation

According to sources, Wizz Air wants to start transatlantic flights from London Luton Airport to New York and Toronto in March 2018.
Flights to the eastern coast of the United States would be operated with the A321ceo (Current Engine Option), a model that has an autonomy of 5950 km. Wizz Air has 22 in the fleet and has to receive 19 more by 2019, and in June it ordered 10, and they will enter the fleet in 2018 and 2019. Moreover, Jizsef Varadi, Wizz Air CEO, said that he wants to obtain a British Operator Certificate (AOC), which would allow the low-cost operator to start direct flights from London to the US, but also cancel out the effects of Brexit. If the flight information to the US confirms, Wizz Air will join Norwegian, WestJet, Aer Lingus, Icelandair, Air Canada and WOW Air operating transatlantic monocular aircraft. via pasazer.com
