Wizz Air Abu Dhabi plans to hire up to 400 pilots and cabin crew this year as it readies to take on more routes and a bigger market share. The airline is seeking ground operations roles at its Abu Dhabi hub, and pilots in Abu Dhabi are paid an average of Dh 23,000-Dh36,000 per month. Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s passenger numbers rose six-fold to 1.2 million passengers in 2022, with the fleet size doubling from four to nine A321-neo aircraft. The airline now flies to 39 destinations in 25 countries from Abu Dhabi and plans to expand into other GCC countries, especially Saudi Arabia. Wizz Air Abu Dhabi remains steadfast to staying an ultra-low-cost carrier and is keen to increase its operations to the Indian sub-continent.
