Wizz Air is further expanding its route network in Germany by launching a new direct connection between Dortmund and Rome Fiumicino. Following the recent announcement of the new route from Dortmund to Milan Malpensa, this latest addition marks the second connection from Dortmund to an legendary Italian destination.
The new route will commence on 25 October 2026 and will operate daily. Tickets starting from as low as 29.99 EUR* and are available for purchase now at wizzair.com and via the Wizz Air mobile app.
Further underlining this positive momentum, Wizz Air has recently been ranked the world’s second best ultra-low-cost airline and among the top 10 global low-cost carriers for 2026 by Airline Ratings, the global authority on airline safety, product quality and passenger reviews.
Rome is one of Europe’s most iconic travel destinations, attracting visitors with its unique combination of ancient history, world-famous landmarks, vibrant street life, and outstanding cuisine. Dortmund, located in the heart of Germany’s Ruhr region, offers visitors a dynamic mix of industrial heritage, cultural attractions, green spaces, and a strong football tradition. Thanks to the new direct connection, passengers can now travel easily between these two exciting cities, whether for city breaks, visiting friends and family, or business travel.
For Wizz Air, the new route represents another step in expanding its German network. “We are very proud to grow even further in Dortmund, providing more leisure and business flights to our customers in Germany. From January till March, we already carried more than 500 thousand passengers to and from Dortmund and with these new routes we will continue to grow in the city. The daily connection links two important and vibrant cities, giving travelers from both Italy and Germany a convenient direct option for leisure, family visits, and business trips. We look forward to welcoming many passengers on board this new route from October.” said Anastasia Novak, Corporate & Sustainability Communications Manager at Wizz Air.
