Budget airline Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has announced it will cease operations starting September 1, 2025. Travel agents warn the airline’s departure could drive airfares up by more than 50 per cent, as passengers scramble for alternative low-cost options.

Wizz Air says it will suspend its Abu Dhabi operations starting Sept. 1. The Hungarian low-cost airline cited geopolitical instability, supply chain issues, and limited market access as key challenges.
