Wizz Air Abu Dhabi offers discounted PCR testing

UAE national carrier Wizz Air Abu Dhabi will offer discounts on PCR testing for those travelling with the airline.

The carrier has partnered with Life Diagnostics to offer a discounted rate on Covid-19 PCR tests, applicable to all passengers upon showing their Wizz Air flight ticket.

Passengers can also request a home visit service to be tested within their homes or offices, subject to additional charges. Appointments can be booked at eight different centres (listed below) to take the PCR test and will receive their results within 24 – 48 hours.

The price of the tests will be Dhs55 in Abu Dhabi and Dhs120 in Dubai. Tickets to the carrier’s 18 destinations can be booked on its website or mobile app, also available in Arabic.

Kees Van Schaick, managing director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, said: “As PCR testing is mandatory for all arrivals and departures at Abu Dhabi, we have introduced discounted PCR testing in line with our lowest fare offerings. This initiative aims to increase demand for travel and helps the recovery of the global aviation industry.”
