International airlines cancel or suspend flights to and from Israel, El Al reinforces its schedule of flights: New updates

Several international airlines have cancelled or suspended flights to and from Israel, but others are operating normally.

The attacks in Lebanon and Iran last week that killed Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh have brought regional tensions to a new peak, and international airlines are responding accordingly.

US airline United Airlines was the first to announce that it was cancelling flights to Israel until further notice, and many other airlines have followed suit.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Israel said in a statement "The security situation allows flights to and from Israel.

Some of the foreign airlines have suspended or reduced their flights to Israel, for their own internal reasons.

For the time being, the Israeli airlines are continuing to operate as normal, apart from flights operated on leased aircraft.

The new flights will be offered at a uniform price ($228 from Larnaca, $283 from Athens) to passengers whose flights have been cancelled by another airline and who wish to fly one-way to Israel.

The relevant flights will appear on the El Al website, and passengers will be notified close to the time of the flight, the airline said.
