The airlines launching new routes for summer 2025 including Wizz Air and Easyjet

If you're still deciding where to book your summer holiday, a host of airlines including Ryanair, easyJet, British Airways, and TUI are rolling out fresh routes this year from various UK locations - including London airports.

Low-cost airline Wizz Air has added two new non-stop routes to its roster, and as well as new routes, Ryanair is set to increase the frequency of its flights on 30 London routes.

The fresh routes provide a great excuse to visit somewhere new and unexpected this summer. Whether you're itching to explore Cape Verde or take in the sights of Pisa, there's a new destination on the horizon for everyone.

TUI

TUI is gearing up to introduce a whopping 300,000 seats just in time for the summer of 2025, offering travellers a wide range of new destinations to choose from. Andrew Flintham, Managing Director at TUI UKandI, shared: "We are seeing that our customers want more flexibility in departing airports, destinations and holiday durations, and this programme for summer 2025 shows our continued commitment to making it easier for customers to book the holiday that's right for them."

He added: "The additions are across 19 regional airports from Glasgow to Bournemouth with customers being able to fly on more TUI holidays from their local airport than ever before."

For those jetting off from East Midlands, there's more choice and frequency on the cards with brand-new routes to Burgas in Bulgaria and Boa Vista in Cape Verde. Meanwhile, Exeter is set to ramp up its capacity with an additional aircraft for 2025, plus a fresh route to the ever-popular Ibiza for holidaymakers, reports the Mirror.

London Gatwick Airport is set to have 1.9 million seats for summer 2025, including a fresh route to Porto. Stansted Airport will be offering 33 weekly flights to 14 destinations, with a new route to Enfidha included.

Wizz Air

Wizz Air recently announced two additional routes, offering the UK's only direct flights to Medina, Saudi Arabia from Gatwick starting on August 1. It marks the longest journey currently offered by the budget airline.

The airline will also operate flights from Birmingham to Rome Fiumicino three times each week. This new route will begin on June 16.

Ryanair

On January 29, Ryanair announced 7 new routes from Stansted to Bodrum, Clermont-Ferrand, Dalaman, Münster, Lübeck, Linz & Reggio Calabria. The airline also plans to increase the frequency of flights on 30 other London routes to Gdansk, Ibiza, Malaga, Milan, Rome, Turin, and Valencia.

Last year, Ryanair unveiled 11 new routes for 2025, such as Calabria to London Stansted, Brussels Charleroi, Milano Malpensa, Pisa, Frankfurt Hahn, Katowice and Paris Beauvais. Two new routes from Lamezia to Tirana and Brussels Charleroi, and two from Crotone to Venice Treviso and Turin are also on the cards.

Additionally, Ryanair will introduce four new routes from Lamezia Terme to Trieste, Madrid, Wroclaw and Bucharest for summer 2025.

Meanwhile, easyJet has announced that from March 30 2025, flights from London to Gran Canaria will operate three times a week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays starting at just £34.99. Flights to Enfidha, Malta, Dalaman, Pisa, Antalya, Marrakech, Almeria, Reus and Tenerife will also run three times a week from London's Southend.
