Airlines around the world canceled flights to Israel and were bordering a large strip of airspace in the Middle East on Friday after Israel’s night missiles attack Iran. Iran then launched drones towards the Israeli territory.
Delta Air Lines on Friday afternoon said he was suspending his service to Tel Aviv, Israel, Until at least September, only weeks after the flights there. He had recently resumed flights on May 20, and from last week, Delta had said he was planning to increase the service to Israel at the end of this year from New York to two daily flights without scales, “responding to a strong winter demand.”
Tel Aviv’s flights from United Airlines stopped at least on Saturday. The flights to Tel Aviv of the carriers turned around the Atlantic Ocean to return to the New York area after Israel attacks during the night. United put 26 of the members of his crew who were on the scale in Israel in the Israeli airline when returning to the United States, a spokesman said.
He has suspended the service since then.
“After recent security developments and in accordance with the instructions of the State Security and Aviation authorities to close the Israeli airspace, all flights Al and Sundor are suspended at the moment,” he said on his website.
The carrier said he will not take reservations until at least the end of June and warned customers who do not go to Ben Gurion airport of Tel Aviv.
“For customers currently abroad, we recommend organizing accommodation until there is a change in security directives,” said Al.
Turkish airlines and European budget carrier Wizz Air also suspended Israel’s flights. Lufthansa of Germany said that the service of Tel Aviv and Tehran was suspending until July 31 and flights to Jordan and Lebanon until at least June 20. Emirates said he was canceling the service from his base in Dubai to Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran.
The airlines offered travel coupons and renounced change rates to customers affected by interruptions.
The growing of military conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine has forced airlines to take repeatedly longer and more expensive routes to avoid conflict zones.
