Due of the intensifying conflict with Hamas, major airlines suspend flights to Israel
Following a significant strike by Hamas, major airlines have halted flights to Israel. Israel has already declared war on the militant group.
Because of the possibility for terrorism and civil disturbance, the US State Department issued travel warnings for the area, causing American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines to cease operations.
Through Friday, American has halted its service to Tel Aviv. The airline claimed to have sent a travel notice that gives customers with disrupted travel plans more options.
American said that it “continues to monitor the situation with safety and security as our top priorities and will adjust our operation as necessary.”
United said that it accommodated its passengers, crew members, and staff members who were at the airport by allowing two planned planes to depart Tel Aviv late on Saturday and early on Sunday. The airline said that until the situation becomes better, all flights to Tel Aviv would be canceled.
According to Delta, flights from Tel Aviv have been canceled until this week. The airline said that it is keeping an eye on the issue and adjusting its timetable as necessary.
Customers with canceled flights or those wishing to modify their Tel Aviv ticket, the airline said, can check the Delta app, website, or contact Delta reservations to make the necessary changes.
