United, Delta Airlines Suspend Israel Flights Amidst Escalating Tensions
Airlines Citing Safety Concerns as Conflict Intensifies
July 31, 2024
In response to the escalating conflict in the Middle East, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have announced the suspension of flights to Tel Aviv, Israel. The cancellations will take effect on Wednesday, August 1, 2024, at 12:00 AM.
The airlines cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the decision. In October, several non-Israeli airlines suspended flights to Tel Aviv after thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed the city. Similar safety concerns have prompted United and Delta to take similar precautions.
The airlines' suspension of flights comes as tensions between Israel and Palestinian militants continue to escalate. The ongoing conflict has already resulted in numerous Israeli and Palestinian casualties. The airlines' decision reflects their commitment to the safety and well-being of their passengers and crew.
United Airlines operates daily flights to Tel Aviv, while Delta Air Lines offers seasonal service to the city. Both airlines will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on their flight schedules as they become available.
