Wizz Air is expanding its flight capacity to Sharm El Sheikh from major European bases starting 6 March, in response to recent airspace restrictions in the Middle East. This move comes as flights to and from Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Amman, and Saudi Arabia remain suspended until 7 March due to escalating regional security concerns. The airline aims to provide alternative travel options for passengers affected by these suspensions.
The increased capacity includes additional flights from London Luton, Rome Fiumicino, Budapest, Milan Malpensa, and Sofia. Specifically, Budapest will see an increase from three to 10 weekly flights, Rome Fiumicino from 11 to 18, London Luton from four to eight, Milan Malpensa from six to 11, and Sofia will introduce three weekly flights. These adjustments are designed to facilitate travel for those needing to reach or depart from Israel, offering a vital connection between Europe and the region.
Wizz Air is actively working with aviation authorities and airport partners to ensure safe travel routes and operating windows. The airline has expressed gratitude for the patience and understanding of its customers during this challenging period and remains committed to restoring original services when conditions permit. Wizz Air, known for its low fares and extensive network, continues to prioritise passenger needs amidst ongoing disruptions
