ALL ROUTES LEAD TO ROME
WIZZ AIR SERVES MORE ROUTES THAN ANY OTHER AIRLINE FROM ROME FIUMICINO
AS IT ADDS THE 5TH AIRCRAFT AND 13 NEW ROUTES
Wizz Air, Europe’s fastest growing airline, announced today the allocation of an additional efficient and sustainable Airbus A321neo aircraft to its Rome Fiumicino fleet and the start of 13 new routes to Madrid, Menorca, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Lyon, Kefalonia, Rhodes, Preveza, Basel, Turku, Podgorica, Belgrade and Yerevan. This expansion at Rome Fiumicino Airport will make Wizz Air one of the largest airlines, based on the number of routes it operates.
Tickets are available now on wizzair.com or on the airline’s mobile app, with fares starting from just €19.99*.
Wizz Air remains agile and open to capture market opportunities, and responds quickly to change in demand to better serve its customers. The airline continues to offer more and more routes to destinations often only served from Rome by smaller carriers, less dedicated to Italy, to make sure passengers can enjoy the benefits of Wizz Air’s great schedules, young and modern fleet as well as its great onboard experience.
The introduction of the 5th aircraft to Wizz Air’s Rome Fiumicino base within just a year, underpins its commitment to Italy, to diversifying its Italian network, consolidating its Italian presence and to liberating the lives of its passengers through affordable travel.
Together with today’s announcement, Wizz Air will offer 4.3 million seats per year on 57 routes to 28 countries from Rome and 18.3 million seats to on 283 routes to 36 countries from Italy in total.
Wizz Air becomes one of the biggest airlines at Rome Fiumicino, besides already being the 3rd largest airline in Italy. The development of the airline’s base at Rome Fiumicino will not only create over 40 new direct jobs with the airline, but will support the creation of 375 new jobs in the associated industries too.
The new investment will further support the ramp up of local tourism and strengthen the economic ties between Italy and other countries. Wizz Air is keen on further developing its Italian offer, making further significant investments in the country, introducing additional aircraft and offering the largest ever seat capacity next summer in Italy.
While speaking at the press conference George Michalopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer of Wizz Air added: ““We are excited to offer more routes than any other airline from Rome Fiumicino by adding the 5th aircraft to our base - with 13 new routes to much awaited leisure destinations including the Greek Islands, Balearics, key Western European and Central and Eastern European destinations. Wizz Air operates Italy’s youngest and most efficient and sustainable fleet of aircraft with an average age of only 5.1 years. We look forward to welcoming passengers to experience our exceptional service on board our new, environmentally friendly Airbus aircraft.”
Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma said: “We are very pleased to welcome the developments announced today for the next summer season, and which once again confirm the strategic nature of our market. Aeroporti di Roma confirms its role as a reference player, representing one of the main markets in Europe and one of the most important in the world. We want to find ourselves prepared for the great changes that await us starting with sustainability. We have announced the Net Zero 30 goal and now we are at the forefront for the deployment of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). The Fiumicino airport is in fact the first airport in Italy to make available SAF, a blend of traditional Jet with a biogenic component, the latter capable of reducing CO2 emissions by 60-90%”.

The 12 months membership provides travelers with a guaranteed discount from the ticket price of all Italian domestic Wizz Air flights above 19.99€, as well as a 2€ discount for WIZZ Priority (subject to availability).
