Wizz Air to open Madrid base
Wizz Air will open a base at Madrid Airport on 3 November, stationing two A321neo aircraft in the Spanish capital. The development forms part of the carrier’s wider expansion in Spain, which also includes a new base in Valencia. From Madrid, Wizz Air will operate 27 routes to twelve countries, increasing its capacity at the airport by 48% and offering some 4.8 million seats annually.
The Madrid base will support the launch of four new routes, including domestic services to Asturias, Palma de Mallorca and Santiago de Compostela, as well as an international operation to Pisa.
The expansion will also enable Wizz Air to increase frequencies on several existing routes and improve operational resilience by permanently stationing aircraft and locally based crews at the airport.
