Wizz Air's first UK route, from Luton to Katowice, launched on 19 May, 2004. Today, the airline operates more than 450 routes in 38 countries. In the UK, Wizz Air flies from nine airports to 14 countries, and in the past six months has launched 13 new UK routes including services from London Gatwick to Bucharest, Doncaster to Cluj and Birmingham to Sofia. During the rest of the financial year WIZZ will grow its UK business by 15%.
