Wizz Air is one of Ryanair’s main competitors behind easyJet in the low-cost market. Mainly serving the Eastern European market, the carrier has made some progress in other areas of the continent opening a series of new bases in Norway, Italy and the UK during the Covid pandemic to the point to gain a British Air Operator’s Certificate to place more pressure on easyJet on the British market. In Autumn 2020 it started its first venture outside Europe, in the form of subsidiary Wizz Air Abu Dhabi based in the United Arab Emirates’ capital (Photo Wikimedia Commons / Marvin Mutz)
