Here's everything you need to know if you have a Wizz Air flight booked
Wizz Air is officially grounding its Abu Dhabi operations. The Hungarian low-cost airline has announced that it will suspend all flights from the UAE capital starting September 1 2025, leaving summer travellers scrambling to rethink their plans. If you've got a Wizz Air Abu Dhabi ticket in hand (or inbox), here's what you should be doing right now. So, what's happening? Wizz Air Abu Dhabi – the UAE outpost of the European budget airline – has been operating from Zayed International Airport since 2020. But citing a mix of engine reliability issues in the region's climate, limited market access, and growing geopolitical pressures, the airline is calling it quits on its Gulf operations. What does this mean for your travel plans with Wizz Air? All flights out of Abu Dhabi will stop after August 31 2025, so if you were planning to travel with Wizz Air from September 1 onwards, your flight will be cancelled. But if you're flying before that, also be aware that the airline hasn't ruled out potential disruption in the lead-up to the shutdown. Here's what to do to stay informed: Step 1: Check your booking Dig out your confirmation email or log in to the Wizz Air app. Take note of: Your booking reference number Your travel dates Whether you booked directly with Wizz or through a third-party site Step 2: If you booked directly with Wizz Air You should receive an email from the airline outlining your refund options or possible rebooking routes. Keep a close eye on your inbox (and check your spam folder just in case). Updates will also be posted on the Wizz Air website and mobile app, so stay tuned. Step 3: If you booked through a travel agent or website Wizz says you'll need to speak directly to your booking agent. They'll be handling your refund or travel rebooking, so reach out ASAP with your booking reference handy. Step 4: Look for alternatives now With the summer travel season in full swing, flights are filling up fast. Start comparing other airlines operating from Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Prices may be higher, especially for last-minute bookings, so the earlier you act, the better. Step 5: Save everything Keep records of all your communication – emails, chats, call notes – in case you run into any issues with refunds or changes. Having documentation will make any potential claims much smoother. Wizz Air Abu Dhabi's exit is a blow to budget-conscious travellers, especially those looking for low-cost summer escapes. But with a little planning and quick action, you can still salvage your holiday – and maybe even discover a better deal along the way. CEO József Váradi said: 'While this was a difficult decision, it is the right one given the circumstances. We continue to focus on our core markets and on initiatives that enhance Wizz Air's customer proposition and build shareholder value.' Need some travel inspo?
