Low-cost carrier Wizz Air has scheduled a dedicated Cabin-Crew Recruitment Day for 27 February 2026 at London Luton, specifically targeting candidates willing to work from its Italian bases. The posting, dated 25 January, underscores the airline’s plan to add aircraft at Rome Fiumicino, Milan Malpensa and Venice Marco Polo during the 2026 summer timetable. (skybound.jobs)
Successful applicants must hold the right to live and work in the EU, pass EASA medicals and be prepared for roster patterns that include early starts and overnights across Wizz Air’s continental network. The expansion follows the carrier’s application for additional slots at congested Italian airports after Alitalia’s successor ITA Airways ceded frequencies under its tie-up with Lufthansa.
For corporate-travel buyers the news signals further capacity and price competition on domestic trunk routes—traditionally dominated by ITA and Ryanair—as well as on point-to-point services linking Italy to Central and Eastern Europe. Increased frequencies could ease seat availability around major trade fairs and facilitate commuter assignments for expatriates based in Italy but working regionally.

Should prospective crew members or travel managers need help securing the proper Italian visas or residence documentation, VisaHQ can streamline the process with online applications, real-time status tracking, and expert guidance available through its dedicated portal (https://www.visahq.com/italy/).
The recruitment drive also reflects a tight European cabin-crew labour market, with airlines offering signing bonuses and fast-track promotions to secure multilingual talent ahead of the busy 2026 holiday season. Mobility professionals may find that relocating aviation staff into Italy becomes faster via intra-EU transfers rather than new work-permit applications, as Wizz relies heavily on A1 portable documents for detached workers.
Applicants selected in February will begin a six-week training course in March, just in time for the airline’s April capacity bump that adds over 300 000 seats per month out of Italian airports.
