Wizz Air expands across Italy
Wizz Air is continuing expansion in Italy, which makes it the third largest airline in the country.
Wizz Air is allocating two Airbus A321neo aircraft to Rome Fiumicino and one to Milan Malpensa
The allocation of these aircraft is enabling the launch of 12 new routes as well as increased frequency on five routes from Rome and three from Milan.
The new routes launch from October 2022, with tickets available now at wizzair.com or on the airline’s mobile app.
The allocation of two aircraft to the Rome Fiumicino base will grow the base to seven aircraft.
The move brings the number of routes to 65, including the launch of seven new routes.
Passengers will now be able to fly to Barcelona, Gothenburg, Malaga, Paris Orly, Porto, Seville and Valencia.
Furthermore, it is increasing frequency to Eindhoven, Hurghada, Paris Orly, Tel Aviv and Yerevan.
Milan Malpensa will receive an additional aircraft, making it a six aircraft base.
It will introduce five new routes to Cardiff, Jeddah, Marsa Alam, Riyadh and Yerevan starting from October 2022.
This additional capacity also means that Wizz Air can increase flight frequencies on routes to Tel Aviv, Catania and Athens.
With the expansion the airline will operate routes to 43 destinations from Milan.
“We are delighted to be expanding in Italy to be the country’s third largest airline, demonstrating our commitment to growing our presence in the market,” said Robert Carey, President of Wizz Air.
The airline will continue to fly to Palermo Airport, operating daily flights between Milan Malpensa and Venice Marco Polo and Palermo to continue serving domestic customers.
