Flight Suspensions to Israel Extended by Multiple Airlines
Flight Cancelations to Israel - June Update
Several international airlines have extended their suspension of flights to Israel due to ongoing security concerns, while others have cautiously resumed operations. The disruptions, linked to the Gaza conflict, highlight the challenges travellers face in accessing the country.
As of June 8, 2025, the ongoing Gaza conflict continues to disrupt international air travel to Israel, with several major airlines extending suspensions to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport due to heightened security risks, while others cautiously resume operations. The cancellations, influenced by a Houthi missile strike near the airport on May 4, 2025, reflect the volatile regional situation following Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack, which killed 1,195 people and took 251 hostages. Israeli carriers El Al and Arkia remain operational, with Arkia set to launch a new route to Seychelles on June 20, offering reliable alternatives for travellers.
Below is a detailed list of airline statuses:

United Airlines, which conducted a risk assessment before resuming, and Delta, with its steady New York route, signal cautious optimism. However, the prolonged suspensions by carriers like Air Canada and British Airways underscore the uncertainty. Travelers are urged to monitor airline updates, opt for flexible bookings, and consider Israeli carriers or Middle Eastern hubs like Emirates for connectivity. Affected passengers are entitled to refunds or rebooking, with airlines providing accommodations for those stranded, ensuring some relief amid the disruptions.
