Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the UAE-based low-cost airline, is planning to expand its budget flying routes and increase its market share. To achieve this, the airline plans to recruit approximately 400 pilots and cabin crew this year, thus increasing its workforce by 400. The average monthly pay for pilots ranges from Dh23,000 to Dh36,000, while cabin crew members can earn an average of Dh8,000 to Dh10,000 monthly. Wizz Air Abu Dhabi experienced a six-fold increase in its passenger numbers in 2022, reaching 1.2 million passengers, doubled its fleet size from four to nine A321-neo aircraft, and now operates to 39 destinations in 25 countries from Abu Dhabi. Additionally, the airline plans to commence operations in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and resume popular routes such as Larnaca, Santorini, and Sohag. During the Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr holidays, the airline’s promotions helped boost its load factors, enabling the airline to maintain lower fares and driving more than double-digit sales. The CEO and Managing Director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, Johan Eidhagen, stated that the airline has been primarily focused on opening up new destinations within a five-hour flight from Abu Dhabi, attracting new travelers to the franchise.
