“We are delighted to have secured these exciting new Wizz Air routes at London Luton Airport, providing our passengers with even greater choice and new opportunities to enjoy the delights of Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Seville and Valencia – five must-see Spanish cities. It’s great to see Wizz strengthening its commitment to LLA even further with the addition of multiple flights to Milan, Rome and Vienna each week. The continued and rising demand for city break destinations has been clear to see this year and these eye-catching additions to our departure boards build on the wealth of fantastic options already available from LLA.”
The trick will be to make the routes stick
With Wizz Air retreating from Abu Dhabi, the trick for the airline will be ensuring enough customers are paying enough to ensure these routes are viable in both directions. Whilst low fares (even with addons) are a useful tool to reel passengers in, routes need to be self-sustaining and have long-term viability.
The Italian and Austrian routes should provide some winter traffic, and could be an option for passengers who want to avoid Heathrow, provided the timings work out for the passenger (given that departures from Heathrow will be tempting in terms of number of services and travel options per day).
With Wizz Air, it’s worth keeping an eye on how the route works out in the medium term.
