UAE Suspends Iranian Airline Operations Following Secondary US Aviation Sanctions
Wizz Air has delayed the restart of several European routes to Abu Dhabi from late October to January 10, 2027, following updated guidelines from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The carrier said ongoing Iraqi airspace closures require longer detours and refuelling stops for its A321neo aircraft, making flights commercially unviable at current fuel prices. In addition, services to Jordan have been suspended until October 25, 2026, after Jordanian airspace was placed on EASA's conflict zone restricted list.
