Wizz Air announces big expansion at Gatwick
Wizz Air marked the launch of 18 new routes from its base at Gatwick Airport.
The launch coincides with the reopening of Gatwick’s South Terminal, a positive step in the recovery of the travel industry with a wider choice of destinations.
They include a mixture of year-round and seasonal routes to Bari, Bourgas, Faro, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Rome, Palma de Mallorca, Larnaca, Varna, Venice, Vienna, Catania, Podgorica, Tel Aviv, Chania, Mykonos and Funchal.
The expansion will see Wizz Air operate a total of 25 routes from Gatwick Airport.
Wizz Air’s successful bid for 15 daily slots pairs at Gatwick Airport in December last year means that the airline will be basing four additional Airbus A321neo aircraft at Gatwick, taking the airline’s total number of Gatwick based aircraft to five.
Wizz Air is currently recruiting for cabin and flight crew at Gatwick Airport, and is hosting a series of open recruitment days at Gatwick in April.
Marion Geoffroy, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, said: “Today’s route launches signify the start of an exciting new chapter for Wizz Air UK at Gatwick Airport as we embark on the summer travel season.”
“The lifting of all Covid-19 travel restrictions is an extremely positive development for the travel industry with customers once again being able to travel hassle-free to their favourite destinations.”
