Wizz Air launches services from Gatwick to Jeddah

This route is one of many offerings that will leverage the Airbus A321XLR’s extended range and efficiency, revolutionising intercontinental travel and making it more accessible than ever before. With fares starting from only USD 116.99, Wizz Air continues to deliver on its promise of making air travel affordable for all. 

“The Airbus A321XLR is the most cost-efficient aircraft of its class and, given the enhanced range capability, it enables Wizz Air to connect the furthest destinations in its network and further expand it, connecting cultures and continents. We’re excited to unlock unbeatable fares for our customers on the newly announced route to London, while offering the most sustainable option for flying," commented Andras Rado Head of Communications and Government affairs during a press conference in Jeddah. “We are already flying several 5-6 hour long ultra-low-cost routes with great satisfaction to our customers, and the XLR will extend our outstanding value proposition to 7–8-hour long flights.” 

“We are excited about the Wizz Air announcement on launching a direct route from London Gatwick to Jeddah Airport utilising the new Airbus A321 XLR (extra long range) aircraft. This new aircraft type marks a new era of ultra-low fare travel on long-haul routes.”
