Dubai: Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has launched a new route from Abu Dhabi to Mattala, Sri Lanka. The low-cost carrier will operate flights to the new destination on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with fares starting from Dh179.

D.V. Chanaka, State Minister of Aviation and Export Zones Development, said: “It is indeed a happy occasion as Wizz air announces its three times a week scheduled operations to Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport.”
