  • The airline withheld guidance for the current year, citing poor visibility across trading seasons, the ongoing Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Wizz Air said it still plans to use market dislocations to pursue growth, even as the Middle East disruption clouds demand and operations.
