Wizz Air grows in Rome Fiumicino
Wizz Air strengthens its presence at Rome Fiumicino airport, announcing the assignment of the 17th Airbus A321neo to the base starting from October 2026. An investment that consolidates the Roman airport as the company's main base in Italy and one of the most strategic in the entire WIZZ network.
Wizz Air currently operates 16 Airbus A321neo aircraft at Fiumicino, connecting the capital with 75 routes to 30 countries. With the new aircraft, capacity will grow by an additional 500,000 seats per year, giving passengers more options to travel in Europe and the Mediterranean.
The expansion will also have an impact on the territory: 40 new direct jobs are expected, in addition to the more than 600 employees already based in Rome, as well as more than 350 indirect jobs in the local supply chain.
