“This announcement highlights our continued commitment to London Luton Airport, which was our first ever base in the UK. Acquiring two additional daily slots will allow us to provide customers with even more ultra-low-fare travel opportunities. 2022 is off to a great start, especially with the lifting of COVID-19 travel restrictions for fully vaccinated travellers.
