Wizz Air, the low-cost carrier, has announced its return to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with a new route network set to launch. The airline revealed on Tuesday that Abu Dhabi and Dubai would be among four destinations to rejoin its network, alongside Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Amman in Jordan. "Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah and Amman are coming back with 12 routes and 49 weekly flights," Wizz Air announced on Instagram.
The specifics of these 12 routes, including their destinations and the weekly flight schedule, remain undisclosed. However, it's unclear which of Wizz's European operations will operate these routes. This announcement follows Wizz Air's decision to suspend locally based operations in Abu Dhabi in September 2025 due to operational challenges and geopolitical instability.
The airline had previously launched Wizz Air Abu Dhabi in 2020 as a joint venture with Abu Dhabi's ADQ. Despite its closure, Wizz Air continued to serve the Middle East through European-based flights. In June, Wizz Air unveiled plans to provide free Starlink satellite internet across its fleet, marking the first European ultra-low-cost carrier to adopt this technology.
Passengers will have access to high-speed internet for browsing, streaming, and staying connected during their flights without incurring extra charges.
