Wizz Air to Resume Flights to Jordan, UAE, and Saudi Arabia Starting September 2026

Wizz Air Set to Restart Middle East Routes

According to УНІАН — Туризм: Hungarian budget airline Wizz Air will gradually reinstate its services to the Middle East from late September 2026, reconnecting travelers with destinations in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia. These routes had been suspended following the conflict in Iran and its regional repercussions. This week, flights to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and Amman (Jordan) have already resumed.

Services to Abu Dhabi and Dubai (UAE) are scheduled to restart from October 25, 2026. Over the winter season, Wizz Air plans to relaunch 12 routes offering a total of 49 weekly flights to these countries. Return flights will provide 470,000 seats, granting passengers from nine European cities convenient, direct access to these popular Middle Eastern destinations. Ticket prices at launch begin at just €24.99, available via wizzair.com and the WIZZ mobile app.
