Milan Malpensa, one of Italy’s busiest international hubs, offers onward connections to destinations across Europe and beyond, making the new link particularly valuable for transfer passengers.
Bilbao is known as "the vibrant heart of the Basque Country" and also "one of the most captivating destinations on the Iberian Peninsula, celebrated for its perfect balance between architectural avant‑garde and deep historical roots."
The city is ruled by the iconic silhouette of the Guggenheim Museum, turning its industrial past into an international hub of design and culture.
"Surrounded by lush natural landscapes between mountains and ocean, it is an unmissable destination offering a full 360‑degree tourism experience," said Wizz Air.
