Our state-of-the-art aircraft and advanced safety measures will ensure the best possible hygienic conditions for travelers. Wizz Air operates the youngest and most cost-effective fleet with the lowest environmental footprint in Europe. The expansion of Wizz Air will not only offer cheaper travel opportunities, but will also contribute to the recovery of local economies and in particular the recovery of the tourism industry”.

Andrea Andorno, chief executive officer of Turin Airport commented: “We are very satisfied with the launch of the new Turin-Palermo flight announced today by Wizz Air, which marks the strengthening of the company on the market for domestic connections from our airport. After the route to Bari, Wizz Air now adds the flight to the Sicilian capital with four weekly frequencies. It is another confirmation of the fact that a recovery in travel demand on the national segment is expected in the next summer season, although in a context that is still heavily influenced by the health crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic”.
