Wizz Air, Italy’s third largest and most environmentally sustainable airline globally is excited to announce that it will base one of its brand new Airbus A321XLR (Extra Long Range) aircraft at Milan Malpensa airport in June 2025, marking the beginning of a new era of intercontinental travel with the launch of a direct route to Abu Dhabi, UAE.
This move enables Wizz Air to offer unbeatable fares, extending its affordability to intercontinental travel while connecting more people, cultures, and economies. Tickets are already on sale on wizzair.com and Wizz Air’s official app from as low as €99.99.
Starting 2 June 2025, Wizz Air will operate its new direct route between Milan and Abu Dhabi daily, a flight over 7 hours. This route is the first of many offerings that will leverage the Airbus A321XLR’s extended range and efficiency, revolutionizing intercontinental travel and making it more accessible than ever before. With fares starting from only €99.99, Wizz Air continues to deliver on its promise of making air travel affordable for all.
Underpinning Wizz Air’s commitment to more sustainable operations, Airbus A321XLR’s carbon intensity is estimated to be at least 30% less than that of other carriers on the same routes.
The strategic decision to base the Airbus A321XLR in Milan reflects Wizz Air’s commitment to strengthen its Italian network and expand its reach. The introduction of this state-of-the-art aircraft is set to revolutionize the travel experience for passengers, offering them direct access to distant destinations at significantly lower fares.
