Wizz Air announces new base in Luton

Hungarian low cost airline, Wizz Air, is establishing a new base at Luton airport where it is already the second largest carrier.

Wizz Air's chief exec said the new base "underlines Wizz Air's commitment to the UK" and that Brexit has done nothing to dampen demand.

The airline recently announced record passenger numbers, record capacity and the addition of 12 new routes. The new base at Luton will bring both new jobs direct with the airline and additionally with its suppliers and business partners.
