Popular Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair announces that it is extending its suspension of flight services to and from Tel Aviv until August 31.

“Ryanair has regrettably been forced to cancel flights to/from Tel Aviv,” the airline says in a statement. “Ryanair apologizes for these cancellations, which are beyond our control, and passengers are advised to download the Ryanair app to check for the latest flight updates.”

The low-cost carrier resumed flights to Israel in March after an extended hiatus, halting them again on May 4 following a Houthi attack in which a ballistic missile hit the grounds of Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport.
