EasyJet has extended its suspension of flights to and from Israel for six months following Iran’s missile and drone barrage aimed at the country.
The Luton-based airline announced it will not resume its Israel operations before late October.
An easyJet spokesman said: “As a result of the continued evolving situation in Israel, easyJet has now taken the decision to suspend its flights to Tel Aviv for the remainder of the summer season until 27 October.
“Customers booked to fly on this route up this date are being offered options including a full refund.”
In the UK, easyJet previously served Gatwick, Luton and Manchester airports from Israel.
A spokesman for British Airways, which operates four daily return flights per week between Heathrow and Tel Aviv, said: “Our flights are continuing to operate as planned and we continue to monitor the situation.”
