Wizz Air Abu Dhabi commences first flight to Kuwait

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has added Kuwait City to its network, marking its fifth destination in the Gulf region.

The new route will strengthen connectivity within the GCC by providing an alternative travel option for passengers between the two Gulf countries. Tickets are currently on sale on the carrier’s website and app, with fares starting from Dhs99.

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi provides ultra-low fare travel options to Alexandria (Egypt), Almaty (Kazakhstan), Amman (Jordan), Aqaba (Jordan), Athens (Greece), Baku (Azerbaijan), Belgrade (Serbia), Dammam (Saudi Arabia), Kuwait City (Kuwait), Kutaisi (Georgia), Manama (Bahrain), Male (Maldives), Muscat (Oman), Nur Sultan (Kazakhstan), Salalah (Oman), Santorini (Greece), Sarajevo (Bosnia), Sohag (Egypt), Tirana (Albania) and Yerevan (Armenia), among others.

The airline has a young fleet composed of four new Airbus A321neo aircraft, offering the lowest fuel burn, emissions and noise footprint, a statement said.

“This announcement reaffirms Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s commitment to supporting the UAE’s travel and tourism sector and contributing to connecting Abu Dhabi with many touristic destinations regionally and globally,” said Michael Berlouis, managing director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi.

“By adding Kuwait to our network, we move forward towards enhancing connectivity with our neighbour countries across the GCC, which provides travellers the opportunity to explore the Arabian culture in different Middle Eastern countries.”

The carrier has been steadily building its network, adding new routes to offer customers greater access to several countries. It recently operated its first flight to Male in the Maldives, a route that will be operated four times per week.
