London Luton Airport adds new destination

London Luton Airport (LLA) has added an exciting new destination to its departure boards following the launch of Wizz Air flights to Jordan’s capital city, Amman. 

Wizz Air will operate flights between LLA and Amman three times a week, offering passengers the chance to enjoy impressive ancient architecture and desert landscapes. The region’s tourist attractions  include Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world, the ancient ruins in Jerash and the panoramic views from the top of Mount Nebo. 

Earlier this year, Wizz Air launched four new routes from London Luton Airport to Prague, Sharm El Sheikh, Tallinn, and Hurghada. The airline now offers over 80 routes from London Luton Airport, where it is the largest operator.

Jonathan Rayner, Chief Commercial Officer at London Luton Airport said: "We are delighted that Wizz Air UK is adding this exciting new destination to our departure boards. The timing of this launch couldn’t be better as we approach what is set to be our busiest Christmas period since 2019. Amman is already showing all the signs of establishing itself as a very popular destination and passengers can enjoy a smooth and friendly passenger experience when choosing London Luton Airport and Wizz Air.”

Marion Geoffroy, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK said: “We are very excited to announce the launch of our new route to Amman, a capital city bursting with life and the gateway to the historic country of Jordan. We are constantly striving to both diversify and expand our network and are pleased to be able to offer our passengers even more exciting and affordable travel opportunities beyond Europe, following the launch of our flights from London Luton Airport to Sharm-El Sheik. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard our young, efficient, and sustainable aircraft.”

Dr. Abed Alrazzaq Arabiyat, Managing Director of the Jordan Tourism Board, said: “We are happy to expand our base of operations as part of our wider tourism strategy. This route is particularly important as it will enable tourists to travel directly from the United Kingdom to Jordan, promoting Jordan as a destination for tourists throughout Europe.”
