About Wizz Air Abu Dhabi

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi is a dynamic, Emirati scheduled low-cost airline operating from its hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport, UAE. This innovative carrier is a joint venture with the state-owned ADQ (formerly known as Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company, ADDH), holding a 51 percent stake, while Wizz Air Holdings owns the remaining 49 percent. The airline launched its operations in November 2020 with an initial fleet of two state-of-the-art Airbus A321neo aircraft. With ambitious expansion plans, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi aims to grow its fleet to 50 aircraft in the coming years, solidifying its presence in the regional aviation market and enhancing connectivity across the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent.

 

On 12 December 2019, Wizz Air announced it would set up a new subsidiary based at Abu Dhabi International Airport to offer low-cost flights, tapping into growth markets across the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. In July 2020, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi announced its initial route network, launching six destinations from its base in Abu Dhabi. Jozsef Váradi, CEO of Wizz Air, mentioned that the airline's fleet could grow to 100 aircraft in the next 15 years.
