Wizz Air will open a new base at Santiago de Compostela Airport in Galicia on 1 February 2027, stationing one Airbus A321neo at the airport and launching seven routes from the Spanish city. The network will include five domestic services and two international links, expanding the airline’s footprint in northwestern Spain.
The scheduled domestic routes are Tenerife Norte, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Málaga and Zaragoza, while the international destinations are Rome Fiumicino and Warsaw Modlin. The Warsaw and Rome services are due to begin before the base opens, with launches planned for December 2026. The move will make Wizz Air the second scheduled carrier with a base at Santiago, after Vueling.
The airline’s expansion is designed to improve operational flexibility and support a broader route programme from the airport. Local and regional officials joined Wizz Air representatives at the Santiago press conference on 30 July, where the base plan was outlined. Secondary coverage also pointed to expected demand in Galicia and broader growth across Spain, although figures on jobs and seat capacity were reported only in less authoritative coverage.
