British low-cost carrier easyJet announces that it will not resume flight operations to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport until at least the winter.
The low-cost carrier was expected to restart its Tel Aviv route on March 29 after repeatedly postponing a resumption of its flight services. It has now postponed that date again amid the war with Iran.
“We have taken the decision not to operate to and from Tel Aviv this summer as part of our continuous review of our flying programme,” easyJet says in an emailed statement. “We are continuing to closely monitor the situation with a view to resuming flying this winter.”
“All impacted customers booked to travel have been notified in advance and provided with their options which includes a full refund or an alternative flight,” the carrier says.
EasyJet is joining other foreign airlines that have suspended flight services to and from Israel in the coming weeks, after the country’s airspace was closed on February 28 with the outbreak of the war.
