On Thursday Wizz Air opened its new base at Rome Fiumicino airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newly opened base further strengthens Wizz Air\u2019s presence in Italy. With 4 Airbus A321 aircraft at Rome Fiumicino airport and with the launch of 32 new services, Wizz Air grows its Italian network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at the base opening ceremony at Rome Fiumicino, George Michalopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer of Wizz Air Group said: \u201cI am delighted to celebrate the opening of our newest base at Rome Fiumicino Airport. Our expansion in Rome underpins our commitment to continue investing in Italy and supporting Italy\u2019s economic recovery as well as offering consumers a wide range of affordable destinations at low fares. In the last 12 months we have allocated 19 based aircraft to Italy, and will continue to invest in the market doubling our presence in the next three years launching further operating bases and new domestic and international routes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wizz Air\u2019s history in Italy dates back to 2004 when the very first flight departed from Bergamo to Katowice, Poland. Since then, the airline has carried over 40 million passengers to and from the country. In little over 12 months, Wizz Air has also deployed 19 aircraft across Italy and operates a total of 261 routes to 91 destinations in 33 countries. This dynamic growth represents a +80% increase in capacity since the announcement of the establishment of the airline\u2019s first base in Italy in the spring of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
”Our brand new A320neo-family aircraft as well as our enhanced protective measures will ensure the best possible sanitary conditions for travellers while operating with the lowest environmental footprint. We welcome the introduction of the EU COVID-19 certificate and hope that it will support the easier and worry-free movement of people within the European Union. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board with great service and a smile, while we strive to become Italy\u2019s most-loved and environmentally conscious airline.\u201d Michalopoulos added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
