Wizz Air Resumes Larnaca Abu Dhabi Route, Boosting Affordable Regional Connectivity

Wizz Air, the renowned low-cost carrier, has announced a strategic resumption of operations on its Larnaca to Abu Dhabi route, effective November 15, 2025. This move reinforces the airline’s commitment to providing cost-effective travel solutions while further consolidating its presence in both the Middle Eastern and European markets.

Strategic Route Revival

The revival of this route not only reinstates the connection between key destinations but also symbolizes Wizz Air’s determination to expand its network. Operating four times a week – on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays – the new offering features fares beginning at €24.99, underscoring the carrier’s dedication to affordability and convenience.

Enhanced Market Presence

By reinstating its famed pink jets over the Abu Dhabi skies, Wizz Air is capitalizing on the high demand for budget-friendly travel in the region. This strategic initiative is expected to drive increased footfall on the carrier’s platforms, including the official website and mobile application, thereby reinforcing its competitive market position.

Driving Regional Connectivity

Wizz Air’s decision to resume the Larnaca to Abu Dhabi service is a testament to its broader vision of facilitating regional connectivity. By streamlining travel options and offering competitive pricing, the airline is set to play a pivotal role in enhancing economic and cultural exchanges between the regions.

The renewed focus on the Middle Eastern market, paired with the strengthening of its European routes, positions Wizz Air at the forefront of the global budget airline industry. This balance of strategic expansion and customer-centric pricing not only solidifies its reputation but also sets a benchmark for the future of affordable air travel.

Cyprus-Based ASBIS Hits Record $1.05bn In Monthly Revenue, Up 216% Year On Year

The technology distributor ASBIS Group, headquartered in Limassol, has exceeded $1 billion in monthly sales for the first time in its history, reporting preliminary consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in September 2026, more than three times the amount recorded a year earlier.

The figure represents a 216% increase from $332 million in September 2025, making it the highest-revenue month in the company’s history.

ASBIS reported its strongest sales growth in servers and server components, while CEO Serhei Kostevitch pointed to growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions and computing infrastructure as an opportunity for the business.

For a company operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, September marked a new sales milestone following several months of substantial year-on-year growth.

Kostevitch attributed the record performance to the group’s existing operations, highlighting its broad product portfolio, international market presence and strong relationships with manufacturers and trading partners.

“Most importantly, this result is the outcome of our regular operating activities,” he said.

The CEO also highlighted the company’s portfolio of projects as a reason for confidence in continued AI-related development.

However, the group’s growth was not limited to AI-related technologies. Smartphones also performed strongly in September, with Kostevitch stressing that “we are growing beyond the AI segment as well.”

Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine accounted for the largest shares of ASBIS’s September revenue, followed by Slovakia and Poland.

Growth Follows Record First Half

September’s results follow a period of strong financial performance for ASBIS.

In July, the company reported preliminary consolidated revenue of $531 million, an increase of 89% compared with the same month in 2025. August brought a further rise to $604 million, up 91% year on year.

September’s $1.05 billion figure represents a substantial increase on both months, although the company has not provided a detailed breakdown explaining the acceleration.

The results also follow a record first half of 2026, when ASBIS generated approximately $2.97 billion in consolidated revenue, up 76% year on year.

Net profit after tax reached $80.6 million, compared with $19.4 million in the same period in 2025.

The second quarter was particularly strong, with revenue reaching $1.69 billion, an increase of 78.7%, while quarterly net profit more than tripled to $44.3 million.

ASBIS has emphasised that its September revenue figures are preliminary estimates and may differ from the final reported results.
