United Airlines has suspended its daily flights to Israel, starting with the Wednesday night service from Newark to Tel Aviv, due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. Delta Air Lines has also halted flights between New York (JFK) and Tel Aviv through at least August 2.
“Beginning with this evening’s flight from Newark Liberty to Tel Aviv, we are suspending for security reasons our daily Tel Aviv service as we evaluate our next steps,” a United spokesperson told USA Today.”We continue to closely monitor the situation and will make decisions on resuming service with a focus on the safety of our customers and crews.”
“Delta flights between New York-JFK and Tel Aviv will be paused through Friday, August 2, due to ongoing conflict in the region. Sales of flights for DL234 on July 31 and August 1, and DL235 on 1 and August 2 are suspended,” the airline said. “Customers impacted by the schedule change will receive notifications via the Fly Delta app and contact information listed in their reservation.”
Delta has issued a waiver for flights to and from Israel through August 14, allowing passengers to adjust their plans without incurring a fare difference. The airline will continue to assess the security situation and update customers on any further changes.
Passengers whose flights are cancelled by a US airline or departing from a US airport are entitled to a cash refund, even for non-refundable tickets.
Flights to and from Tel Aviv were previously suspended in October due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants. American Airlines has yet to resume its services to the region.
The US state department continues to advise American citizens to reconsider travel to Israel and the West Bank and to avoid travelling to Gaza.
