Wizz Air cancels all flights to and from UAE on Thursday

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi said all flights to and from the United Arab Emirates on Thursday were cancelled, following a Wizz Air Group decision announced on Tuesday to cancel all flights to and from the country until June 30.

A 12-day war between Iran and Israel this month prompted international airlines to halt flights to some Middle East destinations due to air space closures and safety concerns. A ceasefire took effect on Tuesday.

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi is a joint venture between Hungary's Wizz Air and the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund (ADQ).
