Wizz Air suspends all flights to and from Russia

Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air has suspended air links with Russia, according to the carrier's website.

For operational reasons, all Wizz Air flights to/from Russia are temporarily suspended until further notice.

In addition, due to the closure of airspace over Ukraine and Moldova, Wizz Air announced the suspension of flights to and from Ukraine, and flights to and from Chisinau are transferred to Iasi International Airport in Romania.

On February 27, the EU announced the complete closure of airspace for Russian aircraft. According to the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Russian aircraft will not be able to land, take off or fly over the territory of the European Union. In early March, the US, following the EU, decided to close the skies to Russian aircraft. A similar decision was made by Great Britain, Switzerland, Canada and some other countries. In response , Russia closed its airspace to air carriers from 36 states.
