British Airways says it is extending the suspension of its flight services to Tel Aviv through June 14, amid fears that Yemen’s Houthi rebels will again target Ben Gurion airport with ballistic missiles after Israel destroyed Sanaa’s international airport yesterday.
“We continually monitor operating conditions and have made the decision to suspend our flights to and from Tel Aviv, up to and including 14 June,” says British Airways in an emailed statement. “The safety and security of our customers and crew is always our priority.”
Several airlines suspended flights to Tel Aviv after a Houthi missile impacted inside the airport on Sunday — the first successful attack on the facility, which has been targeted repeatedly throughout the war.
