Luton airport is gaining a link with Cairo as Wizz Air starts to serve the Egyptian capital this winter.
The budget carrier will run three flights a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from October 30 with single fares starting at £53.99.
Wizz Air UK managing directorMarion Geoffroy said: “Our routes from Egypt to the UK are fast becoming some of our most popular, so we are delighted to be offering passengers more ways to explore this culturally rich destination.

Luton airport commercial director Jonathan Rayner added: “Providing our passengers with even greater choice is key to the simple and friendly passenger experience that we offer.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of flights from London Luton airport to Sphinx International airport, offering passengers an exciting new choice of destination and the opportunity to visit some truly breathtaking and iconic landmarks.”
