Wego emerges as top travel app for flight bookings in Middle East

Platform also earns distinction of being the most downloaded app for flight-focused brands

DUBAI: Wego has once again emerged as the top travel app for flight search and booking in the Middle East in 2023. 

According to data from data.ai, Wego recorded a year-over-year growth of over 44 per cent and 305,775 downloads in May 2024 alone.

This data was gathered by analyzing the download rates of 1,109 travel apps that offer flight and hotel search capabilities.

Wego has also earned the distinction of being the most downloaded travel app for flight-focused brands in the Middle East region, and notably, it is still the most downloaded travel app under Meta and OTA categories in Kuwait since September 2022.

The peak travel season during the upcoming summer holiday across the region may see downloads of the app continue to rise. 

Last year, Wego also announced the acquisition of WegoPro (formerly Travelstop) to expand into the business travel sphere.
