Wizz Air is launching six new routes from London Luton Airport next summer after TUI moved all its operations to London Gatwick.

From 12 June, the company, which is the biggest operator at the airport, will fly passengers to Yerevan, Alicante, Lyon, Corfu, Faro and Turin.

Wizz Air said the decision to base an additional aircraft at Luton, taking its total up to 15, would bolster the town's "economic growth strategy, helping to deliver long-term, sustainable growth for the airport and region".

TUI said it was moving to Gatwick "to strengthen core operations".
