New destinations from Luton Airport

Eastern European low-cost carrier Wizz Air is to begin flying to the Ukraine from Luton Airport.

The new routes will begin on December 17th and will see four flights a week depart for the capital Kiev, while the western city of Lviv will have a service with the same frequency from January 15th.

In addition, the airline confirmed that as of March 28th it will increase services to the capital's Boryspil airport, scheduling daily flights to it from Luton Airport.

Wizz Air spokesperson Natasa Kazmer said: "We are extremely pleased to make Ukraine just as accessible as any other European country to many millions of European travellers.

"Ukrainian passengers responded very well to Wizz Air's low fares and service standards on our domestic services and they were long looking forward to our international flights."

In 1995 the Ukrainian government eased visa regulations which saw its capital city increase in profile as a visitor destination.
