Wizz Air celebrates 100 million passengers in Italy

Wizz Air has reached 100 million passengers carried in Italy since the start of its operations in 2004. A result that consolidates Italy's role as the company's main market and confirms Rome Fiumicino as the most important operational base of its national network.

 

The official celebration took place at Fiumicino airport, at the gate of the Rome-Malaga flight, with a special event that involved departing passengers, including toasts, cake and a festive atmosphere. The lucky one hundred millionth passenger was rewarded with a €500 voucher valid on all Wizz Air destinations.

In 2024 alone, Wizz Air operated over 91,000 flights to and from Italy, carrying more than 18 million passengers, with a punctuality rate of 99.5%. Overall, the company serves more than 200 routes to/from Italy to 80 destinations in 30 countries, with over 13 million seats available.
