Wizz Air initiates its first domestic operations in Spain by establishing bases in Valencia and Madrid for the winter 2026/27 season, marking entry into the national aviation market. The Valencia base opens 2 November 2026 with five domestic routes including daily flights to Palma and Bilbao, while Madrid launches 3 November 2026 serving Asturias, Palma, and Santiago. This strategic shift from international-only operations adds 3.6 million seats at Valencia and 4.8 million at Madrid, increasing capacity by 76% and 48% respectively. The expansion creates approximately 150 direct jobs for pilots and cabin crew, with frequency increases on Milan-Malpensa and London-Luton routes supporting the new network architecture.
