Wizz Air has launched new routes from London Luton Airport and Gatwick Airport to Istanbul in Türkiye.
The inaugural flights from London Luton Airport and Gatwick Airport take off on Tuesday, 28 March, with flights from both airports operating daily to Türkiye’s largest city, Istanbul.
The airline said the new routes build on its continued expansion, with new routes from Gatwick Airport to Antalya, Dalaman (Türkiye) and Verona (Italy) and from London Luton Airport to Amman (Jordan), Bydgoszcz, and Lodz (Poland).
Wizz Air now offers nearly 30 routes from Gatwick and over 60 routes from Luton, where it is the largest operator.
Marion Geoffroy, Managing Director, Wizz Air UK said: “We are excited to announce the launch of two new routes to Istanbul from our bases at London Luton Airport and Gatwick Airport.
“With its striking architecture, buzzing markets and authentic cuisine, Istanbul is a unique city that offers something for every traveller.
“Together with our recently announced routes to Antalya and Dalaman from Gatwick Airport, today’s announcement demonstrates our continued commitment to serving the Turkish market as well as to offering improved connectivity, affordable fares and even more choice to our UK customers.
“Not only is Istanbul a new destination for Wizz Air, but it is also a brand new destination for London Luton Airport. We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard our young, efficient and sustainable aircraft.”
Arzu Kahraman Yilmaz, Counsellor of The Turkish Culture and Information Office, said: “We are delighted to witness the launch of these new routes to Istanbul.
“With influences from across two continents, Istanbul is a popular and beloved destination, offering visitors a unique experience rich in culture, history, food, and fashion.
“We look forward to welcoming even more guests from the UK this year, who will have the opportunity to see all the city has to offer.”
