Sa Vizom do AbuDhabi-ja
Wizz Air will commence its first transcontinental service from Belgrade with the introduction of flights to Abu Dhabi. The two weekly service will start on May 19 and run each Wednesday and Sunday. Flights will be operated by the carrier's newly established Abu Dhabi unit and its 239-seat Airbus A321 aircraft. The airline replaces Etihad Airways, which terminated its operations to the Serbian capital in October of last year. Abu Dhabi becomes Wizz Air's fifth new route out of Belgrade this year following Hamburg, Sandefjord, Heraklion and Santorini. Etihad Airways handled 114.256 passengers between Abu Dhabi and Belgrade in its last full year of operations in 2019 on 924 flights (return service included). Its average annual cabin load factor stood at an extremely high 90.9%, with all services operated by the Airbus A320 aircraft throughout the year.
Belgrade - Abu Dhabi - Belgrade passenger numbers by year
Prior to the pandemic, Wizz Air shortlisted Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Croatia and Montenegro as potential markets that could be served from Abu Dhabi. Flights to Belgrade are currently operated by Qatar Airways and Flydubai from the Gulf region. The Qatari carrier maintains three weekly rotations with its Airbus A320 from Doha, while the Dubai-based airline, which is one of the most successful foreign carriers currently operating out of the Serbian capital, runs daily flights, with additional operations scheduled for the upcoming May Day and Orthodox Easter holidays.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi launched operations on January 15 with its first route being to Athens. The airline is a joint venture between Wizz Air and the Abu Dhabi Development Holding Company. The carrier has a status of being Abu Dhabi’s national airline alongside Etihad Airways and Air Arabia. Commenting on the new route, Managing Director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, Kees Van Schaick, said, “Today’s announcement underpins our long-term commitment to providing low fares and high quality on board experiences to our customers. The new connection from the capital of the United Arab Emirates will continue to stimulate air traffic demand and support the growth of Abu Dhabi’s tourism sector and economic agenda. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board our new, green and ultra-efficient fleet”.
