Wizz Air has announced a new route from Birmingham to Rome Fiumicino, set to launch on June 16, 2025.
The service will operate three times per week with fares starting from £31.99.
Tickets are already available for purchase on wizzair.com and through the airline’s official mobile app.
The new route marks an expansion of Wizz Air’s UK operations, offering more British travellers the opportunity to visit the Italian capital. This comes as the airline announced more routes to Warsaw and Medina.

Last year, Wizz Air celebrated welcoming its 100 millionth passenger in the UK as it continues to grow its presence across the nation.
The new flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, providing a regular service between the West Midlands and the Italian capital.
This route adds to Wizz Air’s existing service from the UK to Rome, which currently operates from London Gatwick.
The expansion allows Wizz Air to offer UK passengers travel options to nearly 100 destinations across 30 countries.
Many of these destinations are described by the airline as “hidden gem, off-the-beaten-track locations” available at affordable prices.
The Birmingham-Rome service creates more opportunities for British travellers to experience one of Europe’s most popular city break destinations.
Corporate communications manager at Wizz Air Olivia Harangozó 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.”

Aviation director of Birmingham Airport Tom Screen 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 airline’s 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.”
Rome offers visitors a perfect blend of rich history, vibrant culture, and exquisite cuisine. Travellers can wander through ancient ruins, savour authentic Italian gelato, or explore the stunning art and architecture of the Vatican.
The convenient flight times and direct service make it easier than ever to experience the beauty of the Eternal City.
