Mon, 08 Oct, 2007
The links between eastern Europe and English capital London are growing stronger following a spate of increased service announcement from operators.
SkyEurope Airlines is the latest company to announce new services to countries in the east of the continent.
From London Luton, the airline will be increasing its flights to Prague and introducing three new destinations in Slovakia.
Chief commercial officer of SkyEurope Airlines Karim Makhlouf commented that the location of the airport is ideal for the firm.
"London Luton Airport provides the ideal gateway for our London market enabling us to offer our premium low-cost product," he said.
Natalie Raper, marketing director of London Luton Airport, added that UK passengers will be able to benefit from the development.
"No-frills flying has made business and leisure travel an increasingly viable option for millions of Europeans," she remarked.
During the month of July, London Luton Airport handled one million passengers, the first time it has done so.
