24 July, 2018: Wizz Air, a Hungarian low-cost airline with its head office in Budapest has received its milestone 100th aircraft coated with AkzoNobel’s exterior topcoat systems.
The two companies have enjoyed a long partnership since 2003, when the airline was founded. Wizz Air specifies AkzoNobel coatings systems for new Airbus aircraft deliveries and for maintenance and repaint work. The latest generation and highly durable base coat clear coat system (Aerobase + Aviox Clearcoat UVR) is now keeping the aircraft in Wizz Air’s fleet sky-ready.
“We would like to congratulate Wizz Air on growing their fleet and achieving this milestone,” said John Griffin, Director of AkzoNobel’s Aerospace Coatings business. “We’ve built a strong relationship with the team at Wizz Air, and we feel proud that they see our products and services playing a part in their success. We look forward to what comes next.”
