Wizz Air to cease operations in Abu Dhabi

Share

Wizz Air announced on Monday that it will exit its Abu Dhabi operations and suspend all locally based flights starting in September, citing operational challenges and geopolitical developments in the Middle East.

The low-cost airline said it will refocus on its core markets in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as on key countries like Austria, Italy, and the UK.

“Supply chain constraints, geopolitical instability, and limited market access have made it increasingly difficult to sustain our original ambitions,” said CEO Jozsef Varadi in a statement. “While this was a difficult decision, it is the right one given the circumstances,” he added.
