Dhaka: The Pakistani government has granted permission to Wizz Air Abu Dhabi to begin operations in the country.

Reports cited spokesperson for the Civil Aviation of Pakistan saying that the country has resolved all legal matters with the United Arab Emirates. This will allow Wizz Air Abu Dhabi to start operating flights to and from Pakistan.

Reports further added that no response has been given by the government of the United Arab Emirates.

The government of Pakistan, however, is trying to get permission from Wizz Air to assist in providing more convenience to those passengers travelling to and from the country.

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi already operates an extensive set of routes from the city in the United Arab Emirates. Currently, the airline's network in the country operates 11 different routes to 10 different countries. These destinations include Alexandria, Egypt, Athens, Greece, and Yerevan, Armenia, among others.

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has also operated the Airbus A321neo for these routes since the beginning of these operations.

This established network of routes will provide a large opportunity for Pakistani travellers to travel to Abu Dhabi or connect through its network.

Several airlines have struggled to fill seats in the aviation market amid the country's current foreign reserve crisis. Many airlines are looking at reducing or scaling back flights to Pakistan as it becomes more difficult to repatriate funds.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) Asia-Pacific head, Philip Goh, commented on the situation, saying, "Airlines are facing long delays before they are able to repatriate their funds. Some airlines still have funds stuck in Pakistan from sales in 2022."
