UAE: Will airfares rise after Wizz Air Abu Dhabi's exit? Etihad CEO responds
The future of UAE airfares following Wizz Air Abu Dhabi's planned exit will be determined by supply, demand, and market dynamics, according to Antonoaldo Neves, chief executive officer of Etihad Airways. 'The market is the king, so it doesn't matter who is leaving, who is entering, and who is adding capacity. The key question is how will supply and demand be in the future? If there is less demand, fares are going to go down,' Neves told Khaleej Times in an interview last week, when asked about the impact of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi's departure on ticket prices. The ultra-low-cost carrier recently announced it will suspend operations in Abu Dhabi starting September 1, 2025, and dissolve its joint venture. Its promotional fares starting at Dh79 gained strong popularity among UAE travellers, especially those flying to Eastern Europe and CIS countries for tourism, thanks to its affordability. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Wizz Air cited three main reasons for its withdrawal: engine reliability issues exacerbated by the region's hot and harsh climate, geopolitical instability, and regulatory challenges. The airline said it will now focus on its core markets in Central and Eastern Europe, along with selected destinations in Western Europe. In 2024 alone, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi operated over 19,000 flights, providing more than 4.4 million ultra-low-cost seats. It carried more than 3.5 million point-to-point passengers, contributing around 25 per cent to Zayed International Airport's total point-to-point traffic. Additionally, the airline brought more than 1.2 million international visitors to Abu Dhabi last year. Until now, Abu Dhabi has been home to three major airlines: national carrier Etihad Airways, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi — offering services that cater to every segment, from luxury travellers to budget-conscious flyers. 'I don't know how supply and demand is going to react in the next year or so, because it doesn't depend only on Etihad (as other carriers also operate in UAE),' Neves added. Etihad chief was speaking after receiving delivery of the first of its 30 Airbus A321LR. Despite the airline's exit, aviation analysts expect minimal disruption. 'Wizz Air leaving Abu Dhabi does not leave a gap at all. Wizz Air tried to create something that frankly didn't exist — and we saw the same when AirAsia X came and fled Abu Dhabi within six months,' said Saj Ahmad, chief analyst at London-based StrategicAero Research. Neves also addressed the perception that Etihad is inflating fares. 'We price to demand and competition. So I don't know what fares are going to be. If there's a lot of demand and we don't have planes, the fare goes up. Otherwise, they go down,' he said. 'The notion that Etihad is charging more is just wrong.' He emphasised that the region's aviation market is expansive and can accommodate a variety of carriers. 'In the UAE, we have four amazing airlines — flydubai, Emirates, Etihad and Air Arabia. They all make money. So there is a space for premium carriers, a space for intermediate carriers, and a space for low-cost carriers. The UAE is one of the best markets in the world. We should be very proud of all that,' Neves concluded.

Sheikha Bodour Becomes University of Leicester's 1st Honorary Professor
Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, President and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees at the American University of Sharjah (AUS), was formally conferred the title of Honorary Professor by the University of Leicester, a distinction given for the first time in the university's history. The ceremony took place at the School of Business's Brookfield Campus and was led by Professor Henrietta O'Connor and Professor Dan Ladley. This prestigious recognition honours her exceptional contributions to women's empowerment, child literacy, and cultural development on a regional and international scale. Connecting Cross-Cultural Academia and Creativity During her visit, Sheikha Bodour engaged with faculty and students and took part in a discussion on museum studies and research within the cultural sector—underscoring her commitment to international academic collaboration and cultural understanding. Championing Literacy, Inclusion, and Publishing Innovation As the founder and CEO of Kalimat Group, Sheikha Bodour has overseen the publication of over 500 socially conscious Arabic children's books across 15+ countries. Her Kalimat Foundation has delivered inclusive literacy programs in 31 nations. She played a pivotal role in the UAE's accession to the Marrakesh Treaty, which ensures accessible books for persons with print disabilities. She also established the Emirates Publishers Association, the UAE Board on Books for Young People, and made history in 2020 by becoming the first Arab woman to serve as President of the International Publishers Association since its founding in 1896. Empowering Women and Strengthening Educational Equity Reflecting on the honour, Sheikha Bodour said, 'This recognition from the University of Leicester is deeply meaningful… education is one of the most powerful ways to build cultural bridges.' She expressed her hope that the award inspires young women to 'lead with purpose' and claim their ideas and space confidently. Professor Dan Ladley described her as 'inclusive, inspiring and impactful,' praising her unwavering dedication to equality, leadership, and transformation across education and publishing. A Trailblazer's Broader Legacy Under Sheikha Bodour's leadership at AUS, new initiatives include six research centres spanning artificial intelligence, sustainability, and Islamic studies, as well as scholarship expansions for underrepresented students. She spearheaded the establishment of the first endowed academic chair for women's leadership in the UAE— the Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi Chair in Women's Leadership in partnership with NAMA Women Advancement Establishment. Her influence continues beyond academia: she drives cultural innovation through Sharjah Publishing City, UNESCO initiatives, and global platforms including WEF and UNESCO World Book Capital Networks. The University of Leicester's conferment of its first-ever Honorary Professorship on Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi is a historic tribute to her leadership in education, literacy, and cultural diplomacy. Her appointment symbolizes the university's values of inclusivity, global engagement, and academic excellence—and heralds a new era of cross-border collaboration and inspiration.
