Delta and United have suspended their flights to Israel, citing ongoing security concerns in the region.
Delta confirmed that its service between New York-JFK and Tel Aviv has been paused until at least Aug. 31. The airline noted security concerns in the region and said it continues to monitor the situation.
Customers impacted by the suspension have been offered options including refunds and rebooking on alternate dates or routes, the carrier stated.
The Atlanta-based airline resumed flights to Tel Aviv on May 20. Earlier this month, the carrier shared plans to add a second daily JFK-to-Tel Aviv flight during the winter season.
United Pauses Flights
United also announced the suspension of its Newark to Tel Aviv flights. The carrier said it would not operate its scheduled service until conditions allow for safe travel. It noted that affected customers can receive a travel credit or a full refund, depending on their preferences.

The airline resumed flights to Tel Aviv just over a week ago, on June 5. United paused service to the city multiple times over the last two years, but most recently in May.
American has not resumed service to Tel Aviv since the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023.
The renewed suspensions follow the June escalation in regional conflict, including missile and drone attacks between Israel and Iran.
