According to the airline, this is set to add more than 12 million seats in terms of capacity offering and will create 40 new jobs at the airport.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Managing Director Geoffroy: Significant Investment for the UK…
Commenting on this positive news for London Luton Airport was Marion Geoffroy, the Managing Director for Wizz Air UK:
“The addition of a new aircraft marks a significant investment for the UK, and we’re pleased to solidify our market-leading position at London Luton.”
“Sustainability is a priority for us, so we are only investing in the latest technology aircraft to help meet our environmental commitments.”
“We are seeing increased demand for more flights to destinations across Europe.”
“With this new aircraft increasing our capacity at Luton, we are now providing more seats than ever for passengers to travel to and from London.”
What remains clear is that the demand is there for Wizz Air to add more flights out of the UK, and in the context of a busy Summer 2023 season, they expect the Winter to be the same.
