Ultra-low-cost carrier Wizz Air is set to resume operations from Abu Dhabi, reopening routes to several European cities just months after its UAE unit ceased operations.
According to the airline’s website, Wizz Air Hungary has begun taking bookings for flights between the UAE capital and multiple destinations in Europe, including Katowice and Krakow in Poland, Cyprus’s Larnaca, and Bulgaria’s Sofia.
Flights from Katowice and Krakow will commence on October 10, 2025, as per the airline’s website. Meanwhile, Larnaca services will begin on November 15 and operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, while Sofia flights will launch on November 17, running on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
This year, in July, Wizz Air announced it was quitting its Abu Dhabi operations after six years to focus on its core European markets, citing geopolitical instability and limited market access.
“Supply chain constraints, geopolitical instability, and limited market access have made it increasingly difficult to sustain our original ambitions,” Wizz Air CEO Jozsef Varadi said at the time. The airline said its strategic decision was aimed at strengthening its more profitable European network, which remains its primary focus.
