The airline will operate its first Russian route from 15 December 2021

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has announced that bookings are now open for its latest route from Abu Dhabi to Moscow with tickets priced from just AED219.

Speaking about the launch, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi managing director Kees Van Schaick said: “We’re pleased to announce Moscow as the latest addition to our route network – the travel route between the UAE and Russia has for a long time been popular and we’re looking forward to increasing traffic between the two countries.”

Wizz Air group CEO Jozsef Varadi added: “Today’s announcement underlines our commitment to bringing a growing number of low-fare opportunities for Russian travellers, and importantly, Wizz Air’s long-term strategic interest in the Russian market.
