British Airways and Air France have both suspended flights to Israel following clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. British Airways has cancelled flights until Wednesday, while Air France has paused services until Monday. Other airlines, including Etihad, Ethiopian Airlines, and Wizz, have also suspended flights to Tel Aviv.
Virgin Atlantic has extended its suspension of flights to Tel Aviv until September 25, and Royal Jordanian has suspended flights to Beirut. Lufthansa has extended its suspension of flights to Beirut and announced it will not fly to Tel Aviv or Tehran until September 2.
Delta Air Lines has extended its suspension of flights to Israel until at least October 31, following a similar announcement by American Airlines. Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv suspended operations for two hours on Sunday as Israeli forces carried out air strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah denied Israeli claims that the attack was detected ahead of time and said it was in retaliation for the killing of a commander in an Israeli air strike on Beirut. The situation remains tense, with ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. Airlines are closely monitoring the situation and adjusting their flight schedules accordingly.
