Wizz Air has introduced the United Kingdom's sole direct flight to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, with fares starting at £45.99. The service, which began on 9 June, operates twice weekly from London Luton Airport on Mondays and Fridays throughout the year.
The five-hour route offers British travellers visa-free access to Armenia for up to 180 days per year. Yerevan, often called the 'Pink City' due to its rose-hued stone buildings, is known for its historic monasteries, museums, galleries, markets, and vibrant café culture.
Wizz Air pilot Tom Copestake expressed enthusiasm about the new destination, highlighting the dramatic mountain landscapes surrounding the city. Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, said the route opens up a largely undiscovered destination for British travellers, aligning with the airline's commitment to affordable and accessible travel.
Alberto Martin, CEO of London Luton Airport, welcomed the service as a strengthening of the airport's diverse route network and a testament to its partnership with Wizz Air. The new flights aim to cater to travellers seeking unique cultural experiences beyond typical tourist spots.
