XL Airways is to start serving Egypt and run additional flights to Cyprus from Luton airport next summer.
A total of 10 weekly flights to Larnaca, Paphos and Sharm-El-Sheikh will operate from May 23.
The airline expects to carry more than 30,000 passengers on its Luton services during summer 2008.
Larnaca will be served five times a week, Paphos three times a week and Sharm-El-Sheikh twice a week.
The airline’s managing director Martin Lock said: “We took the decision to introduce services from London Luton to Larnaca, Paphos and Sharm El Sheikh in response to huge customer demand from the North London area.”
