Wizz Air To Launch Low-Cost Unit in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi Airport will see the launch of two low-cost carriers, helping to draw more point-to-point traffic.

Just two months after Air Arabia announced it would establish a low-cost airline at Abu Dhabi International Airport, Wizz Air is following suit and revealed on Thursday it reached an agreement with Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADDH) to jointly establish a discount carrier in the UAE’s capital. The partners did not disclose how much of the capital they each will own in the joint venture, which will trade as Wizz Air Abu Dhabi and operate a fleet of Airbus A321neos.  Wizz Air Abu Dhabi will become the Budapest-based LCC’s first airline established outside of Europe.
