Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s Head of Commercial Tamara Vallois said the new service would build on momentum from the airline’s recently-added services from Abu Dhabi to Chisinau in Moldova and Cluj in Romania.

“The enhanced range capability will connect Abu Dhabi to new destinations across our ever-expanding network,” she said. “We’re delighted to offer unbeatable fares for our customers on the newly announced route to Milan, while providing the most sustainable flying option.”

Abu Dhabi Airports Vice-President of Aviation Development Nathalie Jongma said: "The deployment of the Airbus A321XLR on this route allows for longer direct flights on narrow-body aircraft.”
