On June 13, it was announced that Air Astana and FlyArystan made the decision to reroute all flights to avoid Iranian and Iraqi airspace. Travelers are advised to check the status of their flights as departure and arrival times may change.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi
Wizz Air has also confirmed a temporary suspension of its route between Astana (NQZ) and Abu Dhabi (AUH) due to the current political situation in the Middle East.
