Wizz Air CEO says passengers will 'suffer the pain' of new 8-hour budget flights
Briefly

Wizz Air believes customers are willing to endure long-haul flights despite their reputation, as they introduce new Airbus A321 XLRs capable of eight-hour journeys.
As Wizz Air launches its new Airbus fleet, CEO József Váradi remains optimistic that budget travelers will accept the discomfort of non-reclining seats and minimal service for low-cost fares.
Although ranked as Europe’s worst airline, Wizz Air is betting on demand for longer routes, aiming to expand its offerings from London to Jeddah starting March.
Nearly half of surveyed passengers reported issues; however, Váradi argues that the market for affordable long-haul flights will prevail despite complaints about comfort.
