Re: Next destinations from WizzAir from Abu Dhabi?

The routes from BUD, CTA, CLJ, OTP, KTW and SOF have always been operated or have been supposed to be operated by W6. So it's easy for Wizz to let the routes simply be flown to DXB instead of AUH. All other destinations except Bari are flown by 5W. The reason for the move could be the expo. I am in ...
