Luton Airport predicts busy summer

Luton Airport has announced that it expects a "busy summer of flying" this year, with Britons set to continue travelling abroad despite the recent disruption to air transport in Europe.

The base revealed that destinations offering guaranteed sun will remain "hugely popular", with the likes of Majorca, Alicante, Larnaca and Sharm el Sheikh attracting the interest of families planning a summer getaway.

City breaks have also been attracting strong interest from travellers, with major destinations such as Barcelona, Paris and Prague leading this sector.

Simon Harley, Luton Airport's airline development manager, said: "With nearly 100 destinations on offer, our passengers have a great deal of choice whether they are looking for sun or a city break, perfect for that much needed summer getaway."

It was recently announced that Wizz Air will be extending its network from the UK base this year with the launch of new flights to Dubrovnik and Venice, which are due to begin operating in June.
