Israeli and US airlines are canceling direct flights from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport to New York airports, citing the snowstorm on the East Coast.
El Al has canceled most of its flights between Tel Aviv and John F. Kennedy and Newark airports for today, and one leaving from JFK on Monday. Other flights leaving from New York and Boston today were rescheduled to earlier departures, Israel’s flag carrier says.
“We are working to find an alternative flight for you as soon as possible,” El Al says. “If you received a notification that your flight was canceled, we will update you shortly with the details of your alternative flight.”
Israel’s Arkia is also expected to suspend some of the flights on its route between Ben Gurion and JFK. Arkia operates three weekly flights on the route, which take off on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. The carrier has not yet provided a detailed update on flight cancelations.
US carrier Delta canceled its scheduled flight route leaving Sunday afternoon from JFK to Ben Gurion, and Monday’s return flight from Tel Aviv to JFK. Similarly, United Airlines canceled some flights on its route between Tel Aviv and Newark airports scheduled for Sunday and Monday.
