Wizz Air, a leading low-cost airline in Italy, is preparing to launch direct flights from Milan to Abu Dhabi in June, marking a significant expansion in its operations.
This move is supported by the introduction of the Airbus A321 XLR, a new long-range aircraft that allows the airline to extend its reach to 8, 700 kilometers.
Despite the challenges faced by the low-cost sector, Wizz Air's CEO, József Váradi, emphasizes the company's commitment to maintaining its low-cost model with competitive fares and efficient operations.
The airline plans to further expand its network with potential direct flights from Milan to India.
Abu Dhabi was chosen as the first destination due to its stable geopolitical environment and growing demand for travel.
Wizz Air has already established a base in Abu Dhabi with 12 aircraft.
In Italy, Wizz Air has strengthened its presence since 2020, with bases in Milan, Rome, Venice, Catania, and Naples, and plans to open a new training center in Rome.
This strategic investment aims to support local economies and create job opportunities.
