George Michalopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer of Wizz Air Group said: "I am delighted to announce our newest base. In the last 12 months we have allocated 17 based aircraft to Italy, and will continue to invest in the market, doubling our presence in the next three years"
To coincide with the new base, Wizz Air launched its domestic Italian Wizz Air Discount Club.
The annual membership provides travellers with a guaranteed discount from the ticket price on all Italian domestic Wizz Air flights priced above €14.99.
