Wizz Air has declared flights to Saudi Arabia. It comes a month after it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the country’s Ministry of Investment. The first of the ULCC’s Saudi plans is driven by the Middle East nation’s enormous ambition to increase travelers to 100 million by 2030.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wizz Air has announced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not coincidentally, Wizz Air’s Saudi foray arrives soon after the country informed that it’d incentivize airlines to said new routes through the government’s Air Connectivity Program. Expect numerous new services by the airline, some of which will also be good for Saudis visiting European hotspots<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rome, Vienna, and Abu Dhabi to Damman will all start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located on the shores of the Persian Gulf, Dammam is the tenth-largest city in the Middle East. It is less than 50 miles (80km) from Bahrain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Wizz Air doesn’t (yet?!) have a base in Saudi Arabia<\/a>, it’ll use Wizz Air Hungary aircraft based in Rome and Vienna and Wizz Air <\/a>Abu Dhabi equipment stationed in the UAE capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first route to start will be Rome, now the ULCC’s fifth-largest airport. Notice the block times in the following list. Dammam-Rome is 6h 15m; only one other, Abu Dhabi-Catania, appears to be longer by this measure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
