Wizz Air Launches New Tel Aviv Route from Sicily Starting 2026

Great news for travelers planning their Israel adventure! Wizz Air has announced an exciting new route that will make getting to Israel more affordable and convenient.

Starting May 5, 2026, the budget airline will launch four weekly flights between Catania, Sicily and Tel Aviv. This is part of Wizz Air’s major expansion in Italy, where they’re adding a third aircraft to their Catania base and creating hundreds of new jobs.

For travelers, this means another budget-friendly option to reach Israel – especially if you’re planning a Mediterranean multi-country trip. Sicily makes a perfect stopover, and you could easily combine exploring ancient Greek temples and Mount Etna with your Israel experience.

The new route will add hundreds of thousands of additional seats annually, which typically means more competitive pricing across the board. Keep an eye on Wizz Air’s booking platform as we get closer to the launch date – budget airlines often offer great early-bird deals.

Planning a 2026 Israel trip? This could be a game-changer for your travel budget, especially if you’re flexible with your departure city in Europe.
