Wizz Air joins airlines cancelling Tel Aviv flights
Wizz Air has cancelled all flights to Tel Aviv on Friday and Saturday, joining other airlines in avoiding Israel due to escalating conflict there.
Flights to Tel Aviv from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Larnaca in Cyprus and Varna in Bulgaria were cancelled on Friday, Wizz Air’s website showed.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned airlines to monitor heightened tensions in Israel, including exchanges of rocket fire and air strikes. “The situation in the region remains a matter of high concern for commercial aviation,” it said in a bulletin to airlines on Wednesday.
