LONDON: European budget airline Wizz Air is launching direct flights between London Gatwick Airport and the Saudi city of Madinah this summer.
The non-stop daily flights from Aug. 1 will use new Airbus A321XLR aircraft, which can fly for up to 11 hours and burn 30 percent less fuel per seat than older aircraft.
Wizz Air’s first flight of the new-generation plane will take place from Gatwick to Jeddah on March 31, The Independent reported.
