Wizz Air launches new routes from Luton Airport to Gibraltar and Madeira

Tickets are already on sale on the budget airline's website and mobile phone app, starting from £24.99.

The carrier will offer flights twice a week from London Luton to Gibraltar and Madeira.

Wizz Air is encouraging its passengers to add WIZZ Flex to their booking, so that passengers can cancel their flight up to three hours before departure without any fee and get 100% of the original fare immediately reimbursed in airline credit, as well as change dates and even routes for added peace of mind during these uncertain times.

Owain Jones, managing director, said: “Wizz Air UK continues to lead the way in getting the UK flying again, safely. We are delighted to be announcing yet more new routes for our UK customers, who we know want to travel, especially with the winter months looming.

"That’s why we are wasting no time by introducing exciting holiday destinations to our UK network, with genuinely affordable fares.

"With over 70 routes from London Luton to choose from, passengers have even more opportunity to escape to their dream destination, whether it’s discovering the unique Mediterranean peninsula of Gibraltar or exploring the stunning volcanic island of Madeira.

"Wherever passengers are headed, they can be assured that they are travelling with an airline that has led the industry with enhanced health and safety measures, and that operates with the lowest CO2 emissions in Europe.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming passengers on board to experience our excellent service.”
