United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have both suspended flights to Israel amid escalating tension in the region.
Starting Wednesday evening, United temporarily suspended flights between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), the airline confirmed toTravel + Leisure. United had initially stopped flying to the city in October after Israel declared war on Hamas following a violent invasion of the country's borders and an ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, but had resumed traveling there in the spring.
«We have suspended for security reasons our daily Tel Aviv service as we evaluate our next steps,” United told T+L in a statement on Thursday. “We continue to closely monitor the situation and will make decisions on resuming service with a focus on the safety of our customers and crews.”
It was not immediately clear when United’s flights would resume.
For its part, Delta also temporarily paused flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Tel Aviv through Aug. 2, according to the airline. Delta has issued a travel waiver for any customers who booked travel to or from Tel Aviv before Aug. 14.
Delta had previously resumed flights to Israel in June.
“Delta is continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing our operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports and will communicate any updates as needed,” the airline said in a statement, adding, “Seats on Delta partner airlines Air France and EL AL Israel Airlines remain bookable on delta.com and through Delta Reservations when available.”
The latest flight suspensions come amid escalating tensions and follow the assassination of Hamas’ top political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran. No one has immediately claimed responsibility for that assassination, according to The Associated Press.
It also comes days after Reuters reported several airlines temporarily cut flights to Beirut in Lebanon following a deadly rocket attack that struck the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

There are plenty of metrics for success in the airline sector, but money is a pretty good place to start.

Exactly one decade after Etihad Airways rolled out its most luxurious offering on board—called The Residence, a three-room apartment in the sky complete with butler service, a private en suite shower, and other luxe amenities—the product remains one of the most exclusive offerings available on a commercial flight. Of course, it had a price tag to match: between $20,000 and $30,000 one way, depending on the route, when it first launched.
