British budget airline EasyJet EZJ.L on Tuesday suspends flights to Israel until October 27, citing the security situation in the Middle East.

“As a result of the continued evolving situation in Israel, EasyJet has now taken the decision to suspend its flights to Tel Aviv for the remainder of the summer season,” a spokesperson says after the airline paused flights to the Israeli city on Sunday.

“Customers booked to fly on this route up to this date are being offered options including a full refund.”

The decision to cancel all flights until October comes just over a month after the airline resumed its flights to Israel in March for the first time since the Hamas terror onslaught on October 7 and subsequent war in Gaza.
