Low-cost carrier Wizz Air said on Monday it would exit its Abu Dhabi operations and suspend all locally based flights from September due to operational challenges and geopolitical developments in the Middle East.

Wizz Air says it will suspend its Abu Dhabi operations starting Sept. 1. The Hungarian low-cost airline cited geopolitical instability, supply chain issues, and limited market access as key challenges.

Wizz Air is suspending operations in the Middle East amid “increasing operational challenges”. The suspension of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi operations as part of a “strategic realignment” will see the budget carrier close all locally based flights from September 1.
