Delta is again extending its pause on flights to and from Tel Aviv, Israel.

The carrier said this week that it has suspended service from New York-JFK and Atlanta to Tel Aviv through Sept. 5.

In a prior update, Delta canceled JFK-Tel Aviv flights through May 31, and paused the restart of the Atlanta connection through Aug. 4.

Additionally, the launch of service between Boston and Tel Aviv, originally planned for late October, has been “delayed until further notice,” officials said.

The changes will be processed in Delta’s systems on Saturday, and customers will receive cancellation notifications through the carrier’s app and the contact information included in their reservation.

Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport has been operating on an extremely restricted schedule since the start of hostilities between the U.S., Israel, and Iran in February.
