About Wizz Air UK

Wizz Air UK is a British low-cost carrier operating under IATA code W9 and ICAO code WUK, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The airline was incorporated on 18 October 2017 and received its Air Operator's Certificate from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on 3 May 2018, commencing its first commercial flight on the same day from London Luton Airport (LTN) to Bucharest. Wizz Air UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wizz Air Holdings and operates as a distinct AOC entity under UK aviation law, separate from Wizz Air Hungary (W6) and Wizz Air Malta (W4), each of which holds a separate AOC from a different national aviation authority.

Wizz Air UK was established to ensure uninterrupted market access to the United Kingdom following Brexit, as Wizz Air Hungary's EU-based AOC would not automatically carry UK domestic traffic rights after the UK's departure from the European Union. The airline operates from two principal bases — London Luton Airport (LTN) and London Gatwick Airport (LGW) — serving destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. For Malaysian travellers, Wizz Air UK provides an affordable option for onward travel from London to a wide range of European and regional destinations.

Airline Overview and History

Wizz Air UK was formed as a strategic response to the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union and the resulting changes to aviation bilateral agreements. Key milestones in the airline's history include:

• 18 October 2017 — Wizz Air UK Limited incorporated in the United Kingdom
• November 2017 — Wizz Air publicly announces plans to launch a UK subsidiary at London Luton Airport, following the acquisition of slots previously held by the collapsed Monarch Airlines
• 3 May 2018 — UK Civil Aviation Authority grants Wizz Air UK its AOC and Operating Licence; inaugural flight departs from London Luton to Bucharest on the same day
• 2018–2019 — Fleet and route network expanded from London Luton across Central and Eastern European destinations
• 2019 onwards — Operations established at London Gatwick Airport, adding Mediterranean and Southern European routes
• 2022–2023 — Network extended to Middle Eastern destinations including Abu Dhabi, Tel Aviv, and Jeddah; Gatwick base expanded significantly
• December 2025 — Wizz Air acquires additional airport slots from TUI Airways at London Luton, enabling a 15th based aircraft and six new routes launching from summer 2026
• Early 2026 — Wizz Air UK applies to the US Department of Transportation for authority to operate transatlantic passenger services between the United Kingdom and the United States

The airline's principal base is London Luton Airport, which is the largest low-cost airport in the London area and provides efficient access to cities across Europe. Wizz Air UK's second base at London Gatwick enables operations to a broader range of longer-haul destinations using the Airbus A321XLR.

Fleet and Aircraft

Wizz Air UK operates an all-Airbus narrow-body fleet focused on the A321 family, in line with the Wizz Air group's commitment to efficiency and low per-seat operating costs. As of early 2026, the fleet comprises approximately 21 aircraft across the following types:

• Airbus A321neo — The primary aircraft type, deployed on the majority of routes from both London Luton and Gatwick. Powered by new-generation engines (CFM LEAP or Pratt & Whitney GTF) for significantly lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions compared to earlier A321 variants
• Airbus A321XLR — Extra Long Range variant of the A321neo, operating from London Gatwick. This aircraft type enables Wizz Air UK to serve longer-haul destinations such as Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, which are beyond the range of the standard A321neo

All aircraft are registered in the United Kingdom with G- prefix tail numbers under the framework of the UK Civil Aviation Authority. The average fleet age is approximately 2–3 years, making Wizz Air UK's fleet among the newest of any UK-based carrier. The airline continues to receive new A321neo deliveries as part of the Wizz Air group's fleet expansion and modernisation programme.

Top Flight Routes

Wizz Air UK operates from London Luton and London Gatwick airports, with a network covering around 60 international destinations in 32 countries as of early 2026. Popular routes include:

• London Luton to Bucharest — The inaugural Wizz Air UK route since first flight in May 2018, connecting London with Romania's capital

• London Gatwick to Istanbul — Connecting London with Turkey's largest city, a major transit hub for onward travel
• London Luton to Chisinau — A key route serving Moldova's capital and the Moldovan community in the UK

Wizz Air UK continues to expand its network in 2026, with new routes from London Luton including Alicante, Lyon, Corfu, Faro, Turin, and Yerevan in Armenia, as well as a new Gatwick route to Valencia. Longer-haul services from Gatwick using the A321XLR include routes to Jeddah, adding further reach to Wizz Air UK's network.

Baggage Allowance and Policies

Wizz Air UK follows the same baggage framework as the wider Wizz Air group, where baggage is purchased separately from the base fare under an ultra-low-cost model.

Cabin Baggage

• Free personal item (all passengers): One small bag with maximum dimensions 40 x 30 x 20 cm; must fit under the seat in front
• Trolley bag: Maximum 55 x 40 x 23 cm, maximum weight 10 kg — permitted in the overhead locker only if WIZZ Priority has been purchased
• If a trolley bag does not fit under the seat and WIZZ Priority has not been purchased, a gate fee of €65 applies and the bag will be placed in the hold

Checked Baggage

• Basic fare: No checked baggage included; must be purchased as a separate add-on
• Available allowance options: 10 kg, 20 kg, 26 kg, or 32 kg per piece
• Maximum dimensions per piece: 149 x 119 x 171 cm
