Wizz Air announces new London Gatwick flights to world-renowned Greek island
Wizz Air, the fastest-growing European airline and London’s local airline, has announced the launch of a brand new route from London Gatwick to a world-renowned Greek island.
The new route to Santorini comes as Wizz Air continues to expand its routes from the UK to Greece and builds on recently announced connections to Chania, Corfu, Mykonos, Rhodes and Zakynthos, launching this summer.
The new service will take off on July 1, operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays, offering UK travellers even more choice when planning their summer getaways to Greece.
Santorini is one of Greece’s most iconic islands, renowned for its whitewashed villages, dramatic caldera views and unforgettable sunsets.
Often associated with high-end travel, the island has traditionally been seen as out of reach for many travellers.
With this new route, Wizz Air is giving customers the opportunity to experience one of Greece’s hotspots at affordable prices, reflecting the airline’s mission to make travel accessible to everyone.
The route comes as Wizz Air continues to expand its fleet and grow its operations from the UK, offering over 110 routes from the UK to nearly 80 destinations, giving UK travellers the opportunity to discover a range of destinations across Europe and beyond, from hidden gems to summer beach escapes.
Yvonne Moynihan, managing director at Wizz Air UK, said: “The addition of Santorini to our London Gatwick network comes at the perfect time ahead of the peak summer season.
“Our upcoming Greek routes are already set to become firm favourites with our customers, and Santorini is a bucket list destination that people dream of visiting.
“As London’s low-cost airline, we’re delighted to give travellers the opportunity to experience this iconic island destination at an affordable price.
“We listened carefully to what customers wanted, and through our Customer First Compass framework we are making sure their needs remain front and centre in every decision we take.”
Tickets for the new London Gatwick to Santorini route will be available soon on wizzair.com and via the Wizz Air mobile app.
