Change language:
With a new decision to purchase new slots at Gatwick, Wizz Air has made it clear that the company is not neglecting the UK market and is ready to commit to Gatwick Airport.
Wizz Air, the Hungary-based low-cost airline, Europe’s fastest-growing one, announced on 22 December that it has successfully acquired 15 daily slots from Norwegian Air Shuttle at Gatwick Airport.
The deal means Wizz Air UK will base four additional Airbus A321neo aircraft at Gatwick, bringing the total aircraft based at Gatwick to five from Spring 2022 onwards,
the company reported, adding that Wizz Air will be launching a host of new low-fare routes, and the acquired slots will also create significant inbound flight opportunities for the company.

Wizz Air first opened its base in Gatwick in October 2020, and the company has since offered a wealth of both well-known and emerging destinations for its customers based in London and the South of England, as well as a boost to the local economy by creating local jobs.
This purchase confirms Wizz Air’s long-term commitment to the region and Gatwick, the company said.
