Wizz Air will launch three new international routes from Budapest, Tirana and Warsaw to Salerno Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento Airport.
Three newAirbus A321neo flights to Salerno
The announcement marks a further step in the airline’s growth strategy in the region and comes just a few weeks after the confirmation of a fourth Airbus A321neo based in Naples, which will join the Campania fleet from March 2027. The three new routes will operate using Airbus A321neo aircraft according to the following timetable: Salerno – Budapest, every Wednesday and Sunday; Salerno – Tirana, every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; Salerno – Warsaw, every Wednesday and Sunday.
This summer growth was 133.6% more than last summer
Wizz Air’s arrival in Salerno forms part of a stage of strong consolidation for the airline in Campania. In Naples Wizz Air has increased its operational capacity by 62~ year-on-year, whilst in the 2026 summer season growth reached 133.6% over the previous summer. This development has been complemented in recent weeks by the announcement of a fourth aircraft based at Naples International Airport, due to enter service in March 2027, alongside new routes to Palermo, Nice, Basel and Genoa, and around 500,000 additional seats made available to passengers.
Váradi: "Naples and Salerno are two complementary components"
“Campania plays a central role in Wizz Air’s growth strategy in Italy, and today’s announcement marks another important milestone in a journey we are pursuing with great consistency. Just a few weeks ago we announced the fourth aircraft based in Naples and a further significant increase in our capacity in the region; today we are extending our presence to Salerno as well, adding three new international routes from Budapest, Tirana and Warsaw. For us, Naples and Salerno are two complementary components of a single, strong hub in Campania, through which we aim to offer passengers ever more travel opportunities," said CEO József Váradi.
One new destination per year for three years
“Wizz Air’s announcement is an important sign for the growth of Salerno Airport and confirms the airline’s confidence in Campania’s airport system. The new routes from Tirana, Budapest and Warsaw enrich the network and open Salerno up to three international markets with great potential. The agreement provides for one new destination per year over the next three years, which will gradually bring the number of routes operated by Wizz Air at Salerno Airport to six. The challenge starts now: to work together to ensure these routes are successful and can lay the foundations for an increasingly significant Wizz Air presence in Salerno and for the further development of the airport’s international connectivity,” said Roberto Barbieri, CEO of airport management company GESAC.
