Wizz Air launches first direct flights between Alicante and Sicily

Travellers from the Costa Blanca will soon be able to swap one Mediterranean coast for another as Wizz Air launches the first-ever direct flights between Alicante and Sicily.

The new route will connect Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport with Catania from 15 December, creating a year-round link between the Costa Blanca and the Italian island. The service is expected to appeal to both holidaymakers and business travellers looking for a convenient direct connection between the two destinations.

Enjoy Three Flights a Week

Flights will operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

According to Wizz Air, flights will leave Catania at 2.40 PM and arrive in Alicante at 5.10 PM. The return service will depart Alicante at 5.55 PM, landing in Sicily at 8.10 PM.

The route will be operated using Airbus A321neo aircraft with a capacity for up to 239 passengers, offering travellers a modern and fuel-efficient aircraft for the journey.

A Growing Network from Alicante

The new service marks another expansion for Wizz Air at Alicante Airport, where the airline continues to strengthen its network of European destinations.

Catania becomes Wizz Air’s fourth Italian destination from Alicante, joining existing routes to Milan, Rome and Venice. The airline currently operates flights from Alicante to destinations across seven countries, including the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Serbia.

Boosting Tourism in Both Directions

The launch is also expected to boost tourism in both directions, offering Costa Blanca residents easier access to Sicily’s historic cities, beaches and renowned cuisine, while giving Sicilian travellers a direct gateway to Alicante and the wider Costa Blanca.

With demand for international travel continuing to grow, the new route provides another attractive option for passengers flying from Alicante and further strengthens the airport’s connections across Europe.
