After Houthis' ballistic missile hits Ben Gurion
Flight Cancellations to Israel - Updated Status
For those booked in May 2025, consider contacting airlines now to discuss contingency plans, especially for fully refundable tickets, and explore El Al or other operating carriers for alternatives.


Following a Houthi ballistic missile attack on May 4, 2025, which struck near Ben Gurion International Airport, injuring six people and temporarily halting operations, numerous international airlines have cancelled flights to and from Israel due to heightened security concerns.
The attack, coupled with escalating regional tensions and Israel’s planned expansion of military operations in Gaza, has led to a wave of suspensions, leaving Israeli carriers like El Al, Arkia, and Israir as the primary operators, often at higher fares.
Below is a detailed summary of the current flight cancellation status, based on the latest available information.
Travelers should expect further cancellations as airlines reassess the situation, particularly with Israel’s military escalation and potential retaliatory strikes against the Houthis. Monitor airline websites, the Israel Airports Authority, and travel advisories for real-time updates.
