The airline will operate the twice-weekly service to the historic city of Sarajevo on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 29 March.

The announcement of Wizz’s latest route comes as the Hungary-based airline continues its expansion of UK services, which includes the acquisition of 15 daily slot pairs at Gatwick from Norwegian.

The carrier is also looking to recruit more pilots and cabin crew as part of its expansion plans.

Marion Geoffroy, managing director of Wizz Air UK, said: “We are delighted to announce the addition of flights to Sarajevo from our base at Luton airport, as we offer our passengers even more choices for their holidays.

“As our UK network continues to grow, we are on the lookout for enthusiastic cabin crew and pilots to join our expanding team and more details can be found on the careers page of our website for those interested in applying.

“We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard our ultra-modern, young, and green aircraft fleet.”
