In addition to flight suspensions, the airline confirmed that it will avoid flying over the airspace of Israel, Iraq, Iran, and Syria until further notice due to ongoing security concerns.

“The safety and security of our passengers, crew, and aircraft is our top priority,” the airline said in an official statement released on June 16. Wizz Air added that it is working closely with aviation and security authorities to monitor the evolving situation.
