Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air announces it is canceling its flights to Israel for the next 48 hours, following Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and a potential escalation with Lebanon.
The airline, which has usually kept its routes open in recent months as many other airlines have canceled, says it is doing so “due to the escalation” in the north.
Some Wizz Air flights on the way to Israel were forced to return to their points of origin mid-flight.
