Wizz Air Abu Dhabi will begin flights to Assiut from July 1, replacing Sohag temporarily due to runway maintenance. The new route will operate three times weekly, with fares starting at AED 439. Assiut, located 100 km from Sohag, ensures continued connectivity to Upper Egypt. The move reflects rising demand in Egypt’s secondary cities, as other carriers like Air Arabia Abu Dhabi also expand regional operations.
