Kuwait:
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the ultra-low-fare national airline of the UAE, has today
(Oct 31) added Kuwait City to its ever-expanding network. Tickets are on sale
now on wizzair.com and on the airline’s mobile app, with fares starting from
just Dh99.
The new route is its 5th key destination in the GCC and will strengthen
connectivity within the region by providing passengers with an alternative
ultra-low-fare travel option.
Kuwait City is home to some of the top tourist attractions in Kuwait. These
include Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Center, the Grand Mosque of Kuwait and
Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Center. The city is also known for its Souq Al
Mubarakiya, one of the country's oldest markets, which offers an authentic
shopping experience. Kuwait City is a destination where you can find the finest
antiques, furniture and carpets, as well as traditional Arab clothing, to
experience the finest Arabian culture during your visit.
Michael Berlouis, Managing Director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, said, “This
announcement reaffirms Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s commitment to supporting the UAE’s
travel and tourism sector and contributing to connecting Abu Dhabi with many
touristic destinations regionally and globally. By adding Kuwait to our network,
we move forward towards enhancing connectivity with our neighbour countries
across the GCC, which provides travellers the opportunity to explore the Arabian
culture in different Middle Eastern countries."
Mansour Al-Kheziem, General Manager of National Aviation Services (NAS) Kuwait
said: “Wizz Air Abu Dhabi officially launched its inaugural flight from Abu
Dhabi to Kuwait today. This is a great demonstration of the confidence
international airlines have in Kuwait as a location that is stable, both from a
political and a health standpoint especially following the Covid-19 pandemic."
The airline has a young fleet composed of four brand new state-of-the-art Airbus
A321neo aircraft, offering the lowest fuel burn, emissions and noise footprint.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has the lowest environmental footprint among its competitors
in the region, supporting the airline’s long-term commitment to sustainability.
For ultimate peace of mind during this uncertain time, passengers can book
tickets with confidence, thanks to WIZZ Flex. With WIZZ Flex, passengers can
cancel their flight up to three hours before departure without any fee and
receive 100% of the fare immediately reimbursed in airline credit.
