Wizz Air Abu Dhabi To Hire 250 Staff as It Doubles Fleet
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi plans to recruit 250 employees as it prepares to double its fleet size in the fiscal year ending March 2024 and add more capacity on existing popular routes amid strong travel demand.
The airline’s hiring spree will take its total workforce to 700, who will help to operate a fleet of 16 aircraft by the end of the financial year, up from eight aircraft in April this year, managing director Johan Eidhagen said.
It currently has 10 jets in its fleet after taking delivery of two Airbus A321 narrow-bodied aircraft last month.
“We’re super happy with our current performance, load factors have reached 85 per cent, a huge increase year on year, and our operational performance has also increased,” Mr Eidhagen said. “We are adding more capacity and have more aircraft coming after the summer.”
The airline expects to double the number of passengers it carries from Abu Dhabi during this fiscal year to between 2.5 million and three million, Mr Eidhagen said.
