Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s ultra low-cost airline, has officially inaugurated its first flight from Beirut to Abu Dhabi! This marks a major milestone in the airline’s continued expansion across the Middle East.
This is the only ultra low-cost carrier operating between Lebanon and the UAE. The launch reinforces Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s commitment to making smart travel accessible, affordable, and reliable for all.
The new route operates three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with one-way fares starting from just $35.99! Tickets are available on wizzair.com and the WIZZ mobile app, both available in Arabic.
The inaugural flight was celebrated at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport with an event attended by H.E. Mrs. Laura Lahoud, Lebanon’s Minister of Tourism, Carl Rizk, Head of Air Transport, as well as airport executives and senior representatives from the national airline.
Speaking at the press conference in Beirut, Tamara Vallois, Head of Commercial at Wizz Air said: “Today marks a historic occasion of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s first landing in Lebanon. This new route opens up more opportunities for families, businesses, and tourists to travel affordably between two vibrant capitals, which is already underlined by the fact that our flights for the upcoming weeks are nearly all sold out.
With efficient operations, young and modern aircraft, and low fares, we’re proud to offer smart travel choices that help more people connect and explore Lebanon. We thank all the involved authorities for their cooperation and support in realizing this air link as we add Beirut on the map of ULCC aviation and offer ever more affordable travel options to Abu Dhabi and beyond. We stay committed to developing tourism in Lebanon and our crew looks forward to seeing many happy customers on board.”
H.E. Laura Lahoud, Minister of Tourism for Lebanon, added: “The launch of direct flights between the UAE capital and Beirut by Wizz Air Abu Dhabi marks a significant milestone in our mission to revitalise Lebanon’s tourism sector. This new route strengthens regional connectivity, fosters cultural exchange and aligns with our vision of making Lebanon more accessible to travellers. It will also be an important driver of travel demand and supports the creation of jobs and economic growth. We welcome this partnership and look forward to more visitors experiencing the beauty, rich history and renowned hospitality that Lebanon has to offer.”
