Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has announced new routes this week after confirming that it had expanded its fleet.
The ultra-low-fare airline took possession of its ninth Airbus A321 neo aircraft. Consequently, it is set to launch all-new routes to Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, and also relaunch popular routes to Larnaca in Cyprus, Santorini in Greece and Sohag in Egypt, this summer.
Tickets are already on sale for these routes with fares starting at Dhs179. The schedule of the flights are below:
| Route | Operating Days | Starts |
| Abu Dhabi – Bishkek | Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday | 01/06/2023 |
| Abu Dhabi – Larnaca | Monday, Wednesday and Friday | 03/07/2023 |
| Abu Dhabi – Sohag | Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday | 04/07/2023 |
| Abu Dhabi – Santorini | Monday and Friday | 02/06/2023 |
In addition to the new destinations, the carrier added that the new aircraft will enable it to increase the ultra-low-cost-travel footprint on the current network with further services between Abu Dhabi and Tirana, Yerevan, Baku, Alexandria, Kutaisi, Athens, Almaty, Astana, Sarajevo, Ankara, Tashkent as well as Samarkand.
Johan Eidhagen, managing director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, said: “The ninth aircraft will provide an additional thirty thousand ultra-low-fare seats per month, enabling us to expand our network. We will continue expanding our network throughout 2023, capitalising on record growth last year.”
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi operated more than 6,000 flights and transported over 1.2 million passengers in 2022.
The airline is a joint venture between ADQ and Wizz Air Holdings, and carried over 600,000 point-to-point passengers to the UAE last year alone.
