Wizz Air has announced new route launches from London Luton Airport, taking advantage of recently acquired slots that became available after the leisure airline TUI shifted some of its flights to Gatwick. This strategic move enables Wizz to expand its flight network to several European destinations and Armenia starting mid-2026.
According to company officials, the airline plans to operate flights to Alicante, Lyon, Corfu, Faro, Turin, and Yerevan with an additional A321neo aircraft based at Luton. This will bring Wizz’s total aircraft at the airport to 15.
Company Statement and Future Outlook
Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, commented: “Securing additional slots at Luton strengthens our competitive position in the London market. With the launch of our 15th based aircraft, we are excited to introduce six new routes, including our first direct connection from London to Armenia.”
"Our focus on growth continues, having delivered two new aircraft and nearly 20 new routes from the UK during 2025, reinforcing Wizz Air UK’s position as Luton’s local carrier. Together with London Luton Airport, and Luton Council, we are shaping Luton as a strategic gateway for 2026 and beyond,”
said Yvonne Moynihan.
The airline’s expansion underscores its commitment to regional connectivity and growth in the UK aviation market, reinforcing its position as a key carrier at London Luton Airport in the coming years.
