Wizz Air Cancels UAE Flights Amid Dubai Airport Delays
UAE's Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has cancelled flights to and from the UAE until June 30, the airline said on Tuesday.
The airline added that it had to divert many of its flights to other airports on Monday evening following the closure of multiple airspaces in the wake of Iran's strikes on a US base in Qatar.
'The safety and security of our passengers and crew remain our highest priority,' the airline said.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi's statement comes moments after Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air announced an identical suspension of flights to the UAE.
'We will keep you informed as the situation evolves,' the carrier said.Also Read: UAE Airspace: What Happened Yesterday And Latest Updates On Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah Flights

UAE Flights: Air Arabia Starts Resuming Operations
Sharjah-based airline Air Arabia confirmed on Wednesday that it has started resuming operations on previously suspended flights. 'As regional airspace continues to open, Air Arabia is gradually resuming operations. Customers are advised to visit to check the latest updates and their flight status. Affected passengers will be notified directly via SMS and email,' the airline said. 'Air Arabia remains fully committed to the safety of our customers and crew, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this period,' the airline added. In an earlier update, the airline said it had temporarily suspended all flights to and from Iran, Iraq, Russia, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan until June 30. Jordan flights were on hold until June 26. Earlier today, Dubai-based carrier flydubai said it will resume operations to the Syrian capital from June 26, 2025. This move comes as more airspace in the region reopens and restrictions are lifted. The carrier plans to resume its full schedule across the network from July 1, following the completion of all necessary assessments. 'This remains a developing situation, and both flight and network planning are continuously reviewed, with flydubai operating within approved international air corridors and adjusting frequencies as required,' the airline said. In Abu Dhabi, Etihad flights to Tel Aviv, will remain suspended until July 15, the Abu Dhabi-based airline said. Meanwhile, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has cancelled flights to and from the UAE until June 30, in line with a similar move by Hungarian carrier Wizz Air. Dubai's flagship carrier, Emirates, announced on Tuesday that its regularly scheduled flight operations have fully resumed, experiencing only 'minimal disruptions'.
