Wizz Air continues to expand at Malmö Airport by adding new route ahead of summer 2026

As one of the fastest growing airlines in Europe, Wizz Air continues to expand its network by adding a new route to Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, from Malmö Airport. Podgorica, located near the Adriatic Sea, is considered a gateway to Montenegro's cultural attractions and dramatic nature, and offers something for both the adventurous and the culinary enthusiast.

- Wizz Air’s investment in an additional direct route from Malmö Airport is a clear sign of the continued high demand for international travel to and from Sweden. Wizz Air has a longstanding presence at Swedavias airports and plays an important role in connecting Sweden to well-established markets in eastern and southern Europe, says Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia. Swedavias main goal is to increase the connectivity and facilitate for people to meet, whether it is for business, leisure or to visit family and friends and Wizz Air is an important part of this.

  - The new route from Malmö to Podgorica reflect our ongoing commitment to offering Swedish passengers convenient and affordable travel options. Through our Customer First Compass initiative, we continue to place travellers at the heart of everything we do, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable journey from booking to arrival, says Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Corporate Communication Manager at Wizz Air. We are excited to expand our network in Northern Europe, creating a direct link between Sweden and Montenegro. The new route will provide more opportunities for Swedish travelers to explore Podgorica, while welcoming Montenegrins to discover Sweden’s stunning landscapes and Nordic charm. We are grateful to the growing number of travelers who choose Wizz Air and with many more exciting destinations to come, we say: Let’s WIZZ!

Swedavia’s work for fossil-free aviation
Swedavia has carried out ambitious climate work for many years. All ten of its airports achieved the goal of zero fossil carbon dioxide emissions from their own operations by year-end 2020. Swedavia also works actively to promote the switch to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and has the goal that five per cent of all fuel used for refueling at Swedish airports shall be fossil-free by 2025. Swedavia’s climate transition work and its pioneering work to operate climate-smart airports have won international awards, and in 2021 the trade organization Airports Council International (ACI) named Stockholm Arlanda Airport Eco-Innovation Airport of the Year. Swedavia offers all passengers flying from one of Swedavia’s airports the option to purchase SAF for all or part of their journey via flygreenfund.se/swedavia.

The Swedavia Group owns, operates and is developing 10 airports throughout Sweden. Our role is to create the connectivity Sweden needs to facilitate travel, business and meetings. Safe, satisfied passengers are the foundation of Swedavia’s business. Swedavia is a world leader in developing airports with the least possible environmental impact. Since 2020, Swedavia’s own airport operations have been fossil-free at all ten airports. In 2024, the group had sales of approximately SEK 6.4 billion and has approximately 2,750 employees.
