Wizz Air to Exit Abu Dhabi Operations Amid Challenges
Budget airline Wizz Air just hit the brakes on its Abu Dhabi operations, confirming it will suspend all locally based flights starting September 2025. The announcement comes amid a turbulent time for the region, with the carrier citing geopolitical tensions, operational roadblocks, and limited market access as major factors behind the decision. 'Supply chain constraints, geopolitical instability, and limited market access have made it increasingly difficult to sustain our original ambitions,' said Wizz Air CEO Jozsef Varadi in a statement. 'While this was a difficult decision, it is the right one given the circumstances.' The airline, which launched Wizz Air Abu Dhabi in 2021 as part of its Gulf expansion strategy, had initially promised ultra-low fares and exciting new connections for travelers in the Middle East. But now, it's shifting its focus back to core markets in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Austria, Italy, and the UK. ✈️ What Does This Mean for UAE Travelers? If you had plans to fly with Wizz Air from Abu Dhabi after this summer, you'll need to rethink your travel itinerary. The final flights from the capital will wrap up before September, after which Wizz Air's Gulf-based routes will officially be grounded. 📍 Why Is Wizz Air Leaving Abu Dhabi? The carrier pointed to ongoing supply chain struggles —something plaguing airlines globally—as well as regional instability, which continues to impact travel demand and airline operations across the Middle East. 🌍 What's Next for Wizz Air? While Wizz Air says goodbye to the UAE skies (for now), it's not going anywhere entirely. The company is doubling down on Europe, reinforcing operations in key destinations where demand remains strong and logistics are more manageable. Stay tuned for updates on rebooking options or route changes from the airline if you've already got tickets lined up.

Wizz Air exits Abu Dhabi, cites instability and limits
Low-cost carrier Wizz Air (WIZZ.L) said on Monday it was quitting its Abu Dhabi operation after six years to focus on its main European market, citing geopolitical instability and limited market access. Wizz, which originally focused on central and eastern Europe but expanded into Britain, Italy and Austria, said in future it would concentrate on its much more profitable European business. Shares in the London-listed airline rose 1.5 per cent in early trading. The stock is down about 62 per cent over the last two years, hit by issues with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines which led to the grounding of some of its aircraft. Wizz said the geopolitical instability had led to repeated airspace closures around Abu Dhabi, hitting demand, while the impact of the hot environment in the Middle East had hurt engine efficiency, making it hard to operate its low-cost model. Failure to secure the flying rights for certain routes had also meant it was unable to grow in the region as it had hoped, the airline said. 'They just couldn't make money out of the Middle East,' Davy analyst Stephen Furlong said. Wizz said it will stop local flights from September 1, 2025 and would be contacting customers regarding refunds. 'Supply chain constraints, geopolitical instability, and limited market access have made it increasingly difficult to sustain our original ambitions,' Wizz Air CEO Jozsef Varadi said in a statement. 'While this was a difficult decision, it is the right one given the circumstances,' he added.

Huawei Consumer Cloud Services has signed two strategic Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with leading regional digital content platforms, Anghami and Nabd, during the Huawei Developer Conference 2025 (HDC 2025). The agreements aim to strengthen Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) for Car by offering localised, reliable, and engaging infotainment solutions tailored for global automakers.

In 2021, it launched a HarmonyOS app for Huawei smartwatches and followed it with a dedicated app version for the Huawei Watch 5 in 2025. With the new MoU, Anghami will help create a robust music ecosystem within HMS for Car. Read: Nabd, which serves over 32 million users globally, delivers personalised Arabic news, live sports scores, market data, weather forecasts, TV streaming, and more. Through its partnership with Huawei, Nabd will offer localised news content and multilingual services for HMS for Car, enriching the platform's media offerings.

HMS for Car continues its innovation push Beyond partnerships, The collaboration with Anghami and Nabd underscores Huawei's goal to build a rich and locally attuned in-car ecosystem. By joining forces with trusted regional platforms, Huawei is enhancing the relevance and depth of its services for drivers and passengers across the globe.
