Delta announces that it will pause its flights between New York and Tel Aviv through December 31.

The US carrier is the latest to extend its halt to flights to the Middle East amid concerns over a wider conflict in the region.

Earlier today, Air France said it was suspending services from the French capital’s Charles de Gaulle airport to Beirut and Tel Aviv up to and including September 19, while Lufthansa Group said it is suspending all connections to and from Tel Aviv and Tehran and will bypass Israeli and Iranian airspace up to and including September 19.
