Wizz Air considers introducing Abu Dhabi – Belgrade route

Wizz Air’s CEO, Jozsef Varadi, has told EX-YU Aviation News portal that the carrier is considering launching services between Abu Dhabi and Belgrade. According to him,, this would become possible once the carrier opens its base in the Emirates capital towards the end of the year.

– Belgrade is certainly on the radar from Abu Dhabi. I can’t confirm when it will be launched, but we are flying from Budapest to Abu Dhabi for example, as well as from Romania and Bulgaria. So, with that, Serbia would be a natural market with a lot of perspective, Varadi noted.

He shrugged off concerns over direct competition with Etihad Airways on the route.

– We are not afraid of competition. As a matter of fact, creating more competition is certainly good for consumers because they have more choice, he said.

Wizz Air base in Abu Dhabi will launch with six aircraft, which is double the amount originally planned.
