El Al Israel Airlines will not restart its direct flights to Dublin, the Irish capital, and the Moroccan city of Marrakech for the coming summer season, the flag carrier says, citing changes in customer demands since the Gaza war.
The Dublin flights were launched last March and had been due to continue through November, but were curtailed a few weeks after Hamas sparked the war by attacking Israel on Oct 7, an El Al statement says.
The Marrakech flights were halted in October amid Israeli advisories against travel to Morocco, it adds.
