The addition further strengthens Wizz Air's network from Prague, providing another direct link to Italy, one of the most popular destinations for Czech travelers during both the winter and summer seasons.
The new Prague–Turin service is part of Wizz Air's wider expansion in northern Italy. Earlier this year, the airline opened a new operating base at Turin Airport, its seventh in Italy and 40th worldwide, with plans to serve 16 routes to eight countries and offer nearly 1.3 million seats from the Piedmont city during 2026.
