Wizz Air suspends flights affecting thousands of passengers, reopens base in Central Europe
Change language:
Due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, which carries the risk of triggering a regional war potentially involving U.S. intervention, Wizz Air has decided to suspend its flights to two Middle Eastern destinations. The suspension will last for almost the entire summer season. Meanwhile, the Hungarian low-cost airline has announced the reopening of a base in Central Europe.
Wizz Air suspends flights to two Middle Eastern destinations
According to portfolio.hu, Wizz Air will suspend its flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) from 3rd July until at least 15th September. The decision is due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, which has led to the closure of airspace in multiple countries across the region.
The Hungarian budget airline informs passengers who booked their flights directly through its system via the phone numbers and email addresses provided. However, passengers who booked their tickets through online or offline travel agencies are advised to contact those agencies directly. Affected passengers may request a full refund or opt for rebooking.
