Wizz Air launching 20 new routes to Saudi Arabia
Wizz Air is making a big play in Saudi Arabia.
It is launching 20 new routes to the Kingdom from across Europe.
It includes Bucharest, Budapest, Catania, Larnaca, Milan, Naples, Rome, Sofia, Tirana, Venice and Vienna to Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, KSA.
Tickets for all routes are on sale on wizzair.com and the airline’s mobile app, with fares starting at €54.99.
The new routes will expand its presence across the region and boost the growing Saudi Arabian tourism sector.
It expects to bring over one million additional travellers to Saudi Arabia next year.
Jozsef Varadi, CEO of Wizz Air, said:Â “I see the Kingdom as a long-term strategic market for Wizz Air where we will continue to carry the flag of low cost flying for the benefit of Saudi residents and visitors.”
Wizz Air signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Investment for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The MoU is a Ministry of Tourism initiative, aimed to enhance the development of the Saudi tourism sector.
The easing of Covid-19 restrictions and the removal of PCR test requirements for vaccinated travellers has made travel simpler again.
