UK Travelers Rejoice As Wizz Air Unlocks Affordable Direct Flights From Birmingham To Rome With Three Weekly Departures From June 2025

Published on February 28, 2025

UK travelers celebrate as Wizz Air launches budget-friendly direct flights from Birmingham to Rome, offering three weekly departures starting June 2025.

Wizz Air, Europe’s most environmentally sustainable airline*, is expanding its UK operations with the launch of a brand-new route connecting Birmingham Airport (BHX) to Rome Fiumicino (FCO). The new service will take off from June 16, 2025, offering passengers a convenient and budget-friendly way to explore the Italian capital.

Flights will operate three times per week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—with fares starting from just £31.99. Travelers can now book tickets on wizzair.com or via the airline’s mobile app.

This latest addition strengthens Wizz Air’s presence in the UK, following the airline’s existing direct route from London Gatwick to Rome. The move underscores Wizz Air’s ongoing mission to enhance connectivity between the UK and Europe, providing more travel options at ultra-low fares.

Rome: A Timeless Destination Now More Accessible Than Ever

The Eternal City, renowned for its breathtaking historical sites, vibrant culture, and world-class cuisine, is a must-visit destination for travelers of all interests. From wandering the ancient ruins of the Colosseum and Roman Forum to marveling at the artistic masterpieces of the Vatican, Rome promises an unforgettable experience.

With this new route, UK travelers will enjoy more convenient and affordable access to Rome, whether for a weekend city break, business trip, or extended cultural getaway.

Wizz Air Strengthens UK Operations & Global Reach

Wizz Air has been rapidly expanding its presence across the UK, recently marking a milestone of welcoming its 100 millionth passenger. With nearly 100 destinations across 30 countries, the airline continues to provide low-cost travel to hidden gems and popular European hotspots.

The launch of Birmingham–Rome follows another major route announcement this week—Wizz Air’s new intercontinental service from London Gatwick to Medina (Madinah), Saudi Arabia, further diversifying its global network.

Olivia Harangozó, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, stated: “We are excited to add this new route to our portfolio in Birmingham, giving more opportunity for Brits to visit the eternal city in its Jubilee Year for low fares. Rome is one of the world’s most iconic destinations, and we are delighted to continue offering new affordable travel options to one of the most sought-after city-break destinations for British tourists.”

Birmingham Airport Welcomes the New Route

Tom Screen, Aviation Director of Birmingham Airport said: “It’s great news that Wizz Air has decided to increase its presence at Birmingham Airport with the launch of a new route to Rome. This new route complements the airlines existing routes to: Budapest, Bucharest and Craiova direct from Birmingham. Rome is a major European centre for finance, business, and culture, so it is great to have more capacity and choice on this route for our customers.”

Wizz Air already operates flights from Birmingham to Budapest, Bucharest, and Craiova, making Rome another exciting addition to its expanding route map.

A Sustainable & Affordable Travel Choice

All Birmingham–Rome flights will be operated using the latest-generation Airbus A321neo, one of the most fuel-efficient and sustainable aircraft in its category.

With low fares, efficient operations, and a growing UK presence, Wizz Air continues to revolutionize affordable travel across Europe and beyond.
