Wizz is planning on basing 2 Airbus A321neo aircraft at the airport and launch 4 new domestic services and 12 international destinations to 9 countries enhancing the airport's connectability. The newest base in Venice Marco Polo airport follows the opening of six bases - Milan Malpensa, Catania, Palermo, Bari, Naples and Rome Fiumicino - Wizz has done within just one year, underpins Wizz Air’s commitment towards Italy.
The 2 Airbus A321neo aircraft will support the operations of 16 routes to Cagliari, Naples, Lamezia Terme, Lampedusa, Casablanca, Reykjavik, Mykonos, Santorini, Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Palma de Mallorca, Tallinn, London Luton, Tel Aviv, Prague, Sharm el-Sheikh. Wizz Air’s extensive Venice network will support local tourism, bring more capital to the region as well as connect Venice with 3 new and exciting, currently unserved destinations such as Reykjavik, Tallinn and Fuerteventura. Wizz Air already operates 10 services from Venice Marco Polo airport to Catania, Tirana, Chisinau, Skopje, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Timisoara, St. Petersburg and Kyiv Zhulyany.
Robert Carey President of Wizz Air Group said: "I am delighted to announce the establishment of Wizz Air’s base at Venice Marco Polo airport. This is another important milestone for WIZZ as well as for our passengers in the region. With our 16 new services to 9 countries, building on our existing 10 services to 7 countries, we are demonstrating our continued commitment to Italy as we grow both our domestic and international Italian network. The 2 new, modern and environmentally sustainable and 50% less noisy Airbus A321neo aircraft will make sure that Wizz Air protects the gems of Venice and the neighbouring areas. Our crew can’t wait to welcome the first passengers onboard our aircraft with a smile."
We expect Carey won't be quite so pleased when he learns that the airport's management is said, by local aviation commentators,, to be charging Wizz 7% more than Ryanair for using the airport.
