Wizz Air cancels flights to and from the UAE until June 30
Budget carrier Wizz Air is cancelling flights to and from the United Arab Emirates until June 30, a spokesperson told Reuters on Tuesday.
Wizz Air said it had suspended its operations to and from Tel Aviv and Amman until September 15.
The Hungarian airline will also avoid overflying Israeli, Iraqi, Irani and Syrian airspace until further notice.
Israel's strikes against Iran have prompted international airlines to halt flights to some Middle East destinations due to air space closures and safety concerns.
As the conflict entered a new phase following the US attack on Iranian nuclear sites, some airlines moved to cancel flights to hubs like Dubai and Qatar's Doha.

Sirens in north Israel after army detects Iranian missiles
The Israeli military reported two missiles fired from Iran mid-morning on Tuesday, leading sirens to blare in the north several hours after US President Trump announced a ceasefire plan. 'Two missiles were launched from Iran and they were intercepted,' a military official told AFP on condition of anonymity, with the army saying people could leave shelters around 15 minuutes after the first alert. Trump announced a phased 24-hour ceasefire process beginning at around 0400 GMT Tuesday, which Israel said it had agreed to. Iran has not formally accepted a ceasefire. Israeli defence minister orders attacks on Iran after ceasefire 'violation' Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday he had ordered the country's military to respond forcefully to what he said was Iran's violation of a ceasefire with Israel. The directive followed an announcement by the military that it had detected missile launches from Iran towards Israel. Less than three hours earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that the ceasefire was now in effect. Katz said the military had been instructed to carry out high-intensity operations against targets in Tehran. Israel and Iran accept ceasefire Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war that roiled the Middle East, after Tehran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar. The acceptance of the deal by both sides came after Tehran launched a final onslaught of missiles targeting Israel that killed at least four people early Tuesday morning, while Israel launched a blitz of airstrikes targeting sites across Iran before dawn. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had agreed to a bilateral ceasefire with Iran in coordination with Trump.
