How did Wizz Air make international travel cheaper than a Dubai-Abu Dhabi taxi ride — and how are UAE residents reacting to its exit?

Many UAE residents say Wizz Air’s ultra-low fares, starting from Dh129, opened doors to international travel that was once out of reach. For some, it was cheaper than taking a taxi to Abu Dhabi Airport, which typically costs Dh250-Dh300. Passengers like Noel Abraham and Fahim Armar shared how the airline made weekend getaways and first international trips possible, even with no-frills services. Now, with Wizz Air ceasing Abu Dhabi operations from September 1, 2025, travellers say they're disappointed and caught off guard, especially with winter travel plans already in place.
