ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates

  • Wizz Air postponed restart of six Abu Dhabi routes from late October to January 10, 2027.
  • Routes affected are Abu Dhabi-Krakow, Katowice, Sofia, Cluj, Larnaca, and Budapest.
  • European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) latest security update and continued Iraqi airspace restrictions prompted the delay.
  • As Airbus A321neo operations require longer routings and technical refuelling stops, so current fuel prices render the routes commercially unviable.
  • Wizz Air also suspended Jordan flights until October 25 due to EASA conflict-zone information bulletin.
  • Affected passengers will be contacted directly with rebooking options.
