Airline launches new Scots flights to popular Italian cities with fares from £26.99
Wizz Air will fly from Glasgow Airport to two major Italian cities
Budget airline Wizz Air will fly from Glasgow Airport to the Italian cities of Milan and Rome with prices starting at £26.99 from October. The new routes will make the iconic destinations more accessible to Scots travellers.
There will be flights weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the move marks an expansion of the company's Italian network. The first flights to Milan will take off from Glasgow to Milan Malpensa Airport on October 27.
Flights to Rome Fiumicino will also launch on that day and will also fly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Tickets for the new routes can be purchased from now on the Wizz Air website or their official app.
Milan, a two-and-a-half hour flight from Glasgow, is famed for as being a leading fashion capital of the world and home to the 19th Century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
But Lombardy's capital city is also a gastronomic centre with it's Risotto alla Milanese and veal cutlet Cotoletta alla Milanese wowing visitors.
Tourists can take in the sights of the it's stunning gothic cathedral The Duomo (Milan Cathedral) and 14th Century castle Castello Sforzesco too and it's the perfect weekend trip.
Rome is the home of some equally iconic landmarks from the Colosseum and the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.
No trip is complete without visiting The Vatican City which is home to St Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel.
And it would be rude not to gorge on it's food. Pasta Carbonara is perhaps one of Rome's most famous dishes and Cacio e Pepe is another pasta dish not to be missed.
Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air said the Italy is an important market for the airline which has also announced a host of routes from Venice and Pescara as well as Rome and Milan.
Imperiale said: "We are thrilled to announce another significant expansion in Italy, which remains our most important market in Europe.
"The new connections from Venice, along with those from Malpensa, Fiumicino, and Pescara, are not just a network expansion, but a tangible testament to our investment in Italy and our dedication to serving a growing demand."
Chris Tibbett, Aero Director at AGS Airports, adds: "Glasgow Airport is delighted to welcome not one, but two, exciting new routes from Wizz Air, connecting Scotland directly to the heart of Italy.
"From October, Wizz Air will launch flights to Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa, offering passengers convenient access to two of Europe's most iconic cities."
The airport has also welcomed new Jet2 flights to the island of Kos from next summer. The carrier this week announced they would fly directly to the Greek hotspot famed for it's sandy beaches and history.
The weekly service will start on May 26, 2026 and will run every Tuesday until October 20, 2026.
