Wizz Air celebrates five years at Milan Malpensa
Wizz Air celebrates the fifth anniversary of its base at Milan Malpensa Airport, a key hub in the Italian and European landscape in terms of passenger volume, number of routes and strategic investments.
Inaugurated in July 2020, Malpensa was Wizz Air's first Italian base and marked the beginning of the company's rapid and widespread expansion throughout the country. In five years of operation, more than 12.5 million passengers have been transported to and from Malpensa, consolidating the role of the Lombard airport as an essential bridge between Italy, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
The data for the first half of 2025 confirm robust growth: 10,000 flights operated to and from Malpensa (+32% compared to 2024), 2 million passengers transported and an average load factor of 99.5%. Punctuality also improved sharply, with an increase of 20% compared to the previous year.
Wizz Air's offer for summer 2025 has been further enhanced: increased weekly frequencies on the most popular routes – in particular to destinations in Spain – and extension of the network to the main European capitals, the Mediterranean islands, the Middle East and North Africa.
