Wizz Air drives Luton expansion with new routes
Wizz Air announced further expansion for London Luton Wednesday, weeks after picking up slots from collapsed airline Monarch at the airport. Three new routes to Athens, Reykjavik and Bari plus additional capacity on Cyprus flights next year will mean Wizz is increasing the number of seats it offers from Luton by 23% next year. The airline had in November said it would increase the number of aircraft it stations at Luton by an extra 2 to 7 following the acquisition of Monarch slots. "The slots give us the opportunity to consolidate our position at Luton," chief corporate officer Owain Jones said, adding that Wizz was now a very close second behind EasyJet at the airport. "It's fair to say that the strength of demand that we see in the UK is coming out of London," Jones said. <br/>
