The new route will be operated using Wizz Air’s Airbus A321XLR, making the airline the first ultra-low-cost carrier to introduce this advanced aircraft. By utilizing this aircraft, Wizz Air aims to provide an affordable yet comfortable travel experience for passengers flying between London and Medina.
With Medina being a key religious and cultural destination, the introduction of a direct flight from London aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader tourism strategy, making it more accessible for visitors and pilgrims. The route is expected to cater to both religious travelers and general tourists seeking to explore the Kingdom.
Tickets for the new service are already on sale, starting from GBP 233.99. With the launch of this route, Wizz Air continues its expansion into the Middle East, reinforcing its commitment to offering affordable and convenient travel options across key global destinations.
