With this expansion Wizz Air will launch 6 new routes and increase frequencies on 17 existing routes for its Italian customers next summer.

Starting in spring-summer 2024, Wizz Air will introduce six new routes from Italy: from Rome Fiumicino to Berlin, Hamburg (Germany), Alicante (Spain) and Denmark (Copenhagen) as well as from Milan Malpensa to Paris Beauvais (France) and Tenerife (Spain).

During a press conference in Rome József Váradi, Wizz Air’s Group CEO commented ” Having established our first base in the country only 3 years ago, today Wizz Air is further strengthening its position of Italy’s third largest airline. With this investment, Wizz Air continues to grow in Italy, offering more affordable, convenient and sustainable travel opportunities to Italian passengers, enhancing connectivity, and boosting competition in the market. The additional aircraft will not only provide passengers with more flight options to numerous sought-after destinations, but also stimulate the economy as we are creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs with Wizz Air and in the hospitality sector.”
Since Wizz Air established its first base in Italy in 2020, it has introduced more than 50 new routes previously unserved in the market and created more than 1,000 direct jobs. The airline is constantly working to improve its product offering for customers, including domestic travel. With the launch of the WIZZ MultiPass, travellers now have the opportunity to take advantage of a monthly pass that allows them to lock in the price of their ticket for a period of 6 months on domestic routes in Italy, starting from just EUR 37 per month.
