Wizz Air, has operated its inaugural flight from London Luton Airport to Venice. Wizz Air marked the first flight on Monday, 1st December with a special celebration for passengers at London Luton, alongside the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the UK.
The new connection will run daily throughout the year, and marks Wizz Air’s 60th route from London Luton Airport. Tickets are available for sale on wizzair.com and via Wizz Air’s official mobile app with fares starting from £21.99.
The new route follows Wizz Air’s best summer on record, and comes as the airline continues to expand its operations from the airport, launching new routes to destinations across Europe - including five destinations in Spain.
Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director at Wizz Air UK said: “As London’s low-cost airline, we’re excited to launch this new route from London Luton Airport to Venice, giving our customers from the UK even more opportunities to visit one of Europe’s most iconic destinations. This new route strengthens our connections with Italy, and marks another important milestone as we continue to expand our operations from our base in Luton.”
Simon Harley, Interim Director of Aeronautical Revenue at London Luton Airport, said: “Wizz Air’s new route from London Luton Airport to Venice is hugely exciting for our passengers, particularly so soon after the recent launch of flights from LLA to Milan and Rome. As one of Italy’s most beautiful, historic and celebrated cities, Venice is famous for its winding canals, stunning piazzas and, of course, its food and cultural scene, all of which make it an all-round favourite with passengers. The addition of such an iconic city to LLA’s departure boards is welcome news and highlights our commitment to bringing even greater choice for passengers. Our role, as ever, is to focus on delivering a consistently simple and friendly passenger experience to all those who are choosing to take advantage of Wizz Air’s increasingly diverse route network at LLA.”
Roberto Costa, President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce UK said: “We are delighted to celebrate the launch of Wizz Air’s new route connecting London Luton to Venice, a city that represents the very essence of Italian culture, creativity, and global appeal. Strengthening air links between the UK and Italy not only supports tourism, but also deepens the commercial and cultural ties that our Chamber works to promote every day. We warmly welcome this new connection and look forward to the opportunities it will create for travellers and businesses alike”
