From November of this year Wizz Air is discontinuing Abu Dhabi-Sarajevo flights due to issues with engines on its Airbus 321neo aircraft and the grounding of 10% of its whole fleet. This route is very popular with tourists from both UAE and Bosnia, visiting each other countries. The flights were initially introduced with two weekly flights in October of 2021, but due to the high demand, the flights were increased to five per week and then to daily from March of this year.Before Wizz Air started flights from UAE to Sarajevo, Air Arabia operated flights from both Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. During the summer months Air Arabia operated two daily flights from Sharjah and 3 weekly flights from Abu Dhabi. With Wizz Air suspending Abu Dhabi-Sarajevo flights is very likely to see Air Arabia back in Sarajevo from April of next year. Earlier this month United Arab Emirates abolished entry visas for citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will create additional demand for air travel between two countries.
