Starting next month, Primera Air will begin five weekly nonstop flights to London Stansted Airport (STN) from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), with one way fares starting at $199.
“We’ve been planning to add Washington, D.C., from the beginning of our transatlantic flight project. Primera Air sees a strong demand for this route, and we are proud to be the first low-cost airline to start operations between both cities—offering people an affordable way of transatlantic travel,” says Andri Már Ingólfsson, president and owner of Primera Air.
Made possible by Primera Air’s all-new, ultra-efficient Airbus and Boeing narrow body fleet, the route will be serviced by an A321neo fitted with a total of 198 seats—16 in a premium economy cabin and 182 in their main economy cabin. The new IAD to STN service will begin on August 22.
“Washington Dulles International Airport welcomes Primera Air’s low-cost transatlantic service, which offers passengers heading to and from the U.S. Capital region a new choice for their travels,” said Jerome L. Davis, executive vice president and chief revenue officer for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. “We look forward to supporting Primera Air’s growth as we continue to solidify Dulles International Airport’s strong position as the Washington region’s premier gateway to the world.”
