Several international airlines have either halted flights to Tel Aviv or rerouted to avoid airspace affected by Israel"s war with Hamas and Hezbollah LONDON: American Airlines announced the suspension of all flights to and from Israel until April 2025, citing heightened fears of regional instability, according to a report by the official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation on Sunday. The decision reflected broader concerns over potential escalation in the Middle East, which have led several international airlines to either halt flights to Tel Aviv or reroute to avoid affected airspace. Among the airlines that have suspended flights are Delta Air Lines, EasyJet, Ryanair, Lufthansa Group, United Airlines, Aegean Airlines, airBaltic, Air India, Air France-KLM, Cathay Pacific, Tarom, Vueling, and ITA Airways. In contrast, El Al Israel Airlines, which has maintained its operations, reported a nearly 150% increase in profits on Thursday, benefiting from its near-monopoly status as foreign carriers pull out. The Israeli national airline has faced criticism from customers both domestically and internationally, who accuse it of price-gouging amid the ongoing crisis.
