Wizz Air Suddenly Scraps 7-Hour Flights: The Airbus A321XLR Experiment Ends

Wizz Air has quietly removed its longest scheduled flights from sale, ending what had been one of Europe’s most closely watched ultra-low-cost long-haul experiments. The carrier has removed both London Gatwick Airport (LGW) – Jeddah Airport (JED) and London Gatwick – Medina (MED) from its booking system, and the routes no longer appear on the airline’s website. The move comes only months after the airline had planned significant expansion of its Saudi Arabian services.
