Wizz Air has announced six new routes from London to various destinations including one Asian country that has barely any tourists.
The budget airline has acquired space at London Luton Airport and is set to bring an Airbus A321 neo aircraft to the hub.
With a new total of 15 planes at the busy airport, the carrier has revealed it will be bringing in routes to six new destinations
From summer 2026, holidaymakers will be able to jet off to Yerevan, Alicante, Lyon, Corfu, Faro and Turin with Wizz Air.
The capital of Armenia, Yerevan, is a ‘previously unserved route’ according to the airline, which will be providing direct flights to the destination.
From June 12, Wizz Air will be flying twice a week to the Asian destination and tickets are priced from £36.99.
Yerevan saw 2.2 million tourists in 2024, slightly lower than the 2.33 million in 2023, and has experienced steady overall growth since the pandemic.
Meanwhile, Corfu will be Wizz Air’s fifth Greek island destination, joining Chania, Rhodes, Mykonos, and Zakynthos.

Lyon and Turin routes will also launch on the same date, and fly three times a week, with prices from £17.99 for both.
Elsewhere, trips to Faro will jet off four times and cost from £17.99, too.
Five Alicante flights a week will kick off on June 12 with prices starting at £17.99.
