Wizz Air announces new summer flights to Portugal and Greece starting in June

Low cost airline Wizz Air has announced new routes from London Luton airport to holiday destinations in Portugal and Greece.

They are planning for the easing of travel restrictions by starting new routes in Portugal from 16 June and to Greece from July.

European flights have all but come to a standstill during the coronavirus pandemic with government restrictions meaning that only a few services are operating for essential travel such as people going to work or being repatriated, or for cargo.

Wizz Air said that the new rules it had introduced, such as compulsory face masks for passengers and staff, should give customers confidence to fly.

It is not yet clear whether traditional summer holiday destinations will be open for business this year.

Flights will depart for Faro, Portugal from 16 June, Wizz said, and for Zakynthos, Heraklion, Corfu and Rhodes in Greece at the beginning of July.

Wizz became one of the first European airlines to restart commercial routes from London Luton and Vienna on May 1, carrying people from Bulgaria and Romania amongst other places, which the airline said was for work.
