New pilot training centre opened in Italy for Wizz Air

The European budget airline Wizz Air has opened its newest pilot training centre in Rome Fiumicino Airport, Italy. The state-of-the-art facility will serve as Wizz Air's second training centre, following the success of its initial Budapest location. The centre is poised to provide recurrent training for more than 4,800 pilots each year, a testament to the airline's commitment to the highest safety standards and innovation in aviation.

The grand opening ceremony took place on October 1, 2024, with key speeches delivered by Wizz Air CEO József Váradi, Aeroporti di Roma CEO Marco Troncone, and CAE’s Vice President, EMEA Commercial Aviation James Cahill.

Jozsef Varadi, Wizz Air's CEO, commented: "This new training centre in Rome signifies Wizz Air's commitment to investing in the future of aviation and our employees. Our pilots are at the heart of our operations, and this facility will ensure that they continue to receive the most advanced, rigorous training possible. This investment in Italy, one of the key markets for Wizz Air, where we already have five bases employing over 1000 crew members and over 20 most efficient single aisle aircraft with the best sustainability indicators in its class, further solidifies our long-term presence in the region."

Located within walking distance of Rome Fiumicino Airport’s Terminal 1, the 2,500+ square meter facility includes briefing rooms, theoretical training spaces, and a simulator hall furnished with two ultra-modern CAE Airbus A320 family full-flight simulators, the third to be installed in 2025. These simulators equipped with high-fidelity visuals, an immersive cockpit environment, and realistic flight dynamics will allow over 4,800 pilots to undergo recurrent training annually, supporting Wizz Air’s expanding operations.
