Why is Wizz Air suspending its Abu Dhabi operations, and will passengers get refunds?

Wizz Air has announced it will suspend all Abu Dhabi-based operations starting September 1, 2025, citing geopolitical developments, regulatory challenges, and intense regional competition. The decision follows a strategic review, as the airline shifts its focus to its core markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Passengers booked on flights beyond August 31 will be contacted directly via email for refunds or alternative travel options. Those who booked through third-party agents are advised to reach out to them directly. Wizz Air was known for its ultra-low fares starting at Dh79 and innovative models like Wizz MultiPass. Its exit marks a significant change in Abu Dhabi’s low-cost travel landscape. What do you think about this move? Did you travel with Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, and will its exit impact your travel plans?
