Rome Fiumicino Airport will see additional Wizz Air flights beginning in March 2026 as part of the airline’s expansion. An extra Airbus A321neo will be put into service by the airline, providing nearly half a million additional seats annually. The expansion underlines Rome’s key importance within Wizz Air’s network and meets the ongoing increase in passenger demand. In addition, this development supports local job creation, providing both direct and indirect positions and maintaining Rome’s status as an important hub for European air travel.

The latest adjustments demonstrate Wizz Air’s continued focus on growing its operations in Rome and increasing the travel options offered to passengers. The growth comes after several important developments at Fiumicino:

  • Launch of three new routes: Glasgow, Bordeaux (a completely new destination), and Brasov.
  • Special initiatives, such as the "Let’s Get Lost" mystery flight that traveled to Chișinău, Moldova.
  • Schedule optimization after Vueling reduced services, strengthening connections across Europe.

Travelers can take advantage of the additional flights to London Luton, Málaga, and Valencia, offering more convenient access to popular sites. In London, travelers can enjoy Hyde Park and walk along the South Bank promenade. Visitors to Málaga can relax on Malagueta Beach, tour the historic Alcazaba fortress, and take in the vibrant atmosphere at Muelle Uno waterfront. Visitors in Valencia can explore the City of Arts and Sciences, walk through Turia Gardens, and enjoy the vibrant Central Market, offering a combination of leisure and cultural experiences.

Connections to Tel Aviv and Sharm El-Sheikh also bring new possibilities for passengers. In Tel Aviv, visitors can stroll along the Tayelet promenade, relax at Gordon Beach, or explore the historic streets of Jaffa Port. Sharm El-Sheikh provides the opportunity for travelers to snorkel in Naama Bay, visit Ras Mohammed National Park, or take a trip to the Colored Canyon. These destinations offer a variety of experiences for both leisure and adventure travelers, expanding the range of options for trips across the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

With the expansion at Rome Fiumicino, Wizz Air delivers concrete benefits to passengers, including higher flight frequency, shorter wait times, and increased planning flexibility. By strengthening the network and maintaining dependable schedules, travelers departing from Rome are able to access a wider selection of destinations and benefit from smoother connections throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. With these new connections, Rome reinforces its role as an accessible hub, providing travelers with practical options for both business and leisure trips.
