(Reuters) -Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air has received its first Airbus A321XLR jet, the plane maker said on Tuesday, becoming the world's first carrier to operate the ultra-long-range aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney's (P&W) GTF engine.

Wizz Air, which flies an all-Airbus fleet, has ordered 47 of the 239-seat, single-aisle A321XLR aircraft.

P&W, owned by RTX, competes with CFM International, which is owned by GE Aerospace and Safran, to provide engines for the plane.
