Wizz Air Doubles Down on Abu Dhabi Venture Despite Slow Start - Bloomberg
Wizz Air Holdings Plc plans to double the size of its carrier in Abu Dhabi, after the Gulf operation got off to a slower-than-expected start because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The new airline, co-owned by state-backed holding company ADQ, ended its first year in operation with four planes based in the capital of oil-rich United Arab Emirates.
The fleet will expand to eight this year, adding links to destinations including Vienna, Bari, Italy, and Krasnodar, Russia, as the venture hires another 200 people locally, Chief Executive Officer Jozsef Varadi said in an interview. It currently employs around 200 people in Abu Dhabi.
“With that, we would be at least doubling or tripling the passenger numbers we carry in and out of Abu Dhabi,” Varadi said.
