Air Canada extends its suspension of all flights to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, as well as Dubai, through September 8, citing the “ongoing military situation in the Middle East.”

Previously, Air Canada cancelled all flights to and from Tel Aviv through May 2, after Israel’s airspace was closed on February 28 following the outbreak of war with Iran.

“Due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East, flights to and from Dubai (DXB) and Tel Aviv (TLV) remain suspended,” Air Canada says in a statement. “If you are in either of these regions, please do not head to the airport unless you have a confirmed flight with another airline, and your flight is operating as scheduled.”
