Wizz Air Expands Luton Airport Routes: Six New Destinations for UK Travellers

Wizz Air is stepping up at London Luton Airport. Quietly. But with real intent. Those extra slots quietly acquired from Tui Airways are more than paperwork. This is opening door for six new international routes launching in summer 2026. No big noise. Just steady expansion. And it says a lot about Luton. Once seen as an overflow option, it is slowly changing its image. For many UK travellers, Luton is starting to feel like a first choice. Especially for those chasing affordable flights across Europe, and even beyond.

The new destinations almost explain themselves. Yerevan in Armenia. Sunny escapes like Alicante and Faro. Culture-heavy city breaks to Lyon and Turin. And Corfu, a familiar favourite many already know well. Flights are set to begin on June 12 and 13, quietly pushing Wizz Air’s total network at Luton to 66 destinations. For passengers, it changes the picture. Simpler journeys. Fewer connections. And more choice, especially for short breaks and those last-minute holidays that come together fast.

Things are going fast behind the scenes. A321neo is headed to luton, bringing Wizz Air's local fleet to 15 aircraft. Alicante? Up to five flights a week. Faro? Four. Demand is real. Especially from UK travellers hunting for value in the busy summer months. Corfu joins the party as Wizz Air’s fifth Greek island route from Luton, along with Chania, Rhodes, Mykonos, and Zakynthos. Lyon and Turin aren’t just seasonal anymore. They’re running all year.

One route really stands out. Yerevan. Never had a direct flight from Luton before. A fresh link. New passengers. New reasons to pack a bag. One-way fares? Starting from just £13.99 on some routes. Wizz Air clearly has cost-conscious travellers in mind. More people will come. More pressure on the roads. More taxis, more transfers across Bedfordshire and nearby towns. Luton is getting busier. And this time, it’s no accident.
