Wizz Air plans ultra-low-cost Abu Dhabi operation

The budget carrier has agreed in principle an ultra-low cost joint venture with the Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADDH).

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi will focus on routes to markets where Wizz has existing, “high-growth” operations, namely central, eastern and western Europe.

Its longer-term vision involves targeting the Indian subcontinent, Middle East and Africa.

According to Wizz, an Abu Dhabi-based budget carrier will boost the hub’s efforts to become a “world-class” cultural and tourist destination.
