The ultra low-cost airline will increase frequencies on six routes from the airport in time for the summer season
Wizz Air, Europe’s fastest growing and most sustainable airline*, today announces it has successfully acquired an additional two daily slot pairs from Vueling at London Luton Airport. The deal means Wizz Air will increase frequencies on six existing routes from the airport – to Bacau, Craiova, Iasi, Sibiu and Timisoara in Romania, as well as to Wroclaw in Poland from 11 May 2022.
This expansion will see the airline increase its slot portfolio by 167,000 seats, cementing its position as the largest operator at London Luton Airport with over 5.6 million seats in total for the summer season. Tickets for the routes are on sale now on wizzair.com and on the airline’s mobile app, with fares starting from just £8.99**.
Passengers travelling with Wizz Air from London Luton will now have the choice of ultra-low fare routes to 75 destinations from the airport. Since its first flight in May 2004, and the opening of its base at London Luton Airport in June 2017, Wizz Air has flown passengers from London and the Southeast of England to an exciting array of well-known and off the beaten track destinations. The successful bid for more slots demonstrates Wizz Air’s long-term commitment to both the airport and surrounding region, providing an extra boost to the local economy and creating more local jobs.
Just so that nobody is any doubt, ‘London Luton’ is a long way from London (55km) and the worst of the 5 airports that service London with no direct transport link (a bus then an expensive train that takes around an hour is the fastest way from there). It is about as useful as a chocolate teapot and Brits avoid it.
