From Gabala to Abu Dhabi: Wizz Air launches new flights with tickets starting at $46

Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air is set to begin flights between Gabala, a picturesque town in Azerbaijan, and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, starting June 19.

This marks the airline’s first expansion beyond Baku, where it has been operating for some time, Caliber.Az reports, citing the low-cost carrier's website.

Tickets for the new Gabala-Abu Dhabi route are already available on the airline's official website, with prices starting at a budget-friendly cost of $46. The launch of this route is expected to enhance connectivity between Azerbaijan and the UAE, providing more travel options for both leisure and business passengers.

Wizz Air's expansion into Gabala is seen as part of the airline's broader strategy to tap into the growing demand for affordable international flights from regional airports. Gabala, known for its scenic landscapes and popular tourist destinations, is becoming an increasingly important hub for international travel in Azerbaijan.

Since its arrival in Azerbaijan, Wizz Air has primarily operated from Baku, offering flights to various European destinations. The new Gabala-Abu Dhabi route will be a key development in strengthening the airline's presence in the region.
