Wizz Air ends Luton - Ljubljana ticket sales
Low cost carrier Wizz Air is likely to discontinue flights between London Luton and Ljubljana at the end of the summer season. Ticket sales have been suspended past October 25. The airline initially planned to boost capacity between the two cities during the 2019/2020 winter by utilising its larger 230-seat Airbus A321 aircraft. Services were scheduled to run three times per week, before increasing to four in December. Flights are expected to resume in the summer of 2020. Wizz Air will add a number of new routes from the British capital over the coming months, however, some will be launched at the expense of others. With the London suspension and the previously announced hiatus of its Charleroi - Ljubljana service, Wizz Air will temporarily withdraw from the Slovenian market this winter for the first time in seven years.
The budget carrier confirmed this week it will resume flights from Charleroi at the start of the 2020 summer season. In a statement to “Seenews”, the airline said, "Wizz Air always monitors the performance of its routes to allow for the most popular destinations to have the lowest possible fares. The Ljubljana - Brussels [Charleroi] route is seasonalised in winter and it will come back in the IATA summer season 2020 in the middle of March and April”. Wizz Air began serving the Slovenian market in October of 2012 and has maintained flights from both Charleroi and London ever since.
Ljubljana is well connected to a number of London’s airports. easyJet serves the Slovenian capital nine times per week from Stansted and four weekly from Gatwick. This summer, British Airways introduced two weekly seasonal operations between Heathrow and the Slovenian capital, which will come to an end on Monday. A total of 239.727 passengers flew between Ljubljana and London last year, with 47% of those opting for easyJet's Stansted service, followed by Wizz Air's Luton flights and easyJet's Gatwick operations. Wizz Air serves several former Yugoslav markets from London with flights to Belgrade, Pristina, Ohrid, Skopje and Split (seasonally). It previously also maintained flights to Tuzla but later discontinued the service.
