Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the ultra-low-fare national airline of the UAE, has announced its plans to launch its latest route to Turkistan, one of the most important historic cities in central Asia. 

 

The new route reaffirms the airline’s commitment to unlocking an eclectic mix of travel opportunities for both residents and visitors of the UAE and Kazakhstan. Flights to Turkistan will commence on January 16, 2024 and will operate three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
