Wizz Air fourth plane based at Marco Polo and five new routes, including Naples

Wizz Air continues to push on Italy, and this time it does so from Venice Marco Polo, where from next September the fourth Airbus A321neo.

This is not an insider's detail: when a company decides to base another plane at a stopover it means one very simple thing, namely more flights, more frequencies and more choice for those departing from the Northeast. According to what was announced today in conjunction with the SAVE Group, the deal will bring 500 thousand additional seats and will ramp up the Wizz network from Venice to 26 routes to 16 countries.

Wizz's new routes from Venice

For Italian passengers, the most interesting news is that there is talk not only of growth "on paper," but of Five new routes already put on sale. From September 14, 2026 flights will depart for Bilbao e Malaga, from the September 15 it will be the turn of Alicante e Seville, while from the December 1, 2026 The new domestic connection will also debut Venice-Naples. It is a move that further strengthens the Hungarian low-cost carrier's presence at one of the country's most important airports.

Looking at the operational detail, Naples will even have 11 weekly frequencies, thus a route designed not only for tourism but also for frequent travelers between North and South. On the Spain front, however, Wizz places an interesting package: Bilbao e Malaga with 4 flights per week, Alicante e Seville with 3 weekly frequencies. In practice, Venice becomes even more of a gateway for leisure traffic to the Iberian Peninsula, a market that continues to pull so much.

Wizz and Italy

And this is not an isolated case. Wizz Air stated that in the 2026 will offer in Italy 27 million places, with 35 aircraft based at its six Italian bases in Catania, Naples, Rome, Palermo, Milan and Venice. Overall, the company's Italian network counts 284 routes to 33 countries, numbers that explain well why the carrier is now one of the leading players in the Italian market.

In conclusion

If you live in Veneto, Friuli, Trentino or even a large slice of eastern Emilia, from Venice you will have even more opportunities to build low-cost getaways to Spain or use Naples as a quick bridge to the South. And yes, the tickets are already on sale with starting prices from 14.99 euros, which then as always should be read with the mental asterisk of the Wizz model: aggressive base fare, then everything else you pay. But this is not news now, it is the instruction manual of the ultra low cost.
