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.
