Major Airlines Suspend Flights to Tel Aviv Amid Regional Tensions

 

Airlines across Europe are beginning to suspend flights to Israel and parts of the Middle East, with Air France, British Airways, and KLM among the carriers announcing cancellations and service halts.

Air France confirmed it has canceled flights to Tel Aviv and Dubai, citing the evolving security situation in the region. The airline did not immediately provide a timeline for when service might resume.

British Airways announced it has suspended its evening service to Dubai, while monitoring developments closely and reviewing additional routes as needed.

Meanwhile, KLM said it has halted flights to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, becoming one of the first major European carriers to suspend service across multiple Middle Eastern destinations.

Industry officials say flight cancellations are expected to increase gradually as airlines reassess safety conditions and airspace restrictions. Passengers are being advised to check directly with airlines regarding upcoming travel and rebooking options.

The cancellations come amid heightened regional tensions, prompting airlines to prioritize passenger and crew safety while coordinating with aviation authorities.

More updates are expected as the situation continues to develop.
