Qatar Airways resumed flights Monday as Qatari airspace reopened following Iranian missile strikes aimed at Al Udeid Air Base.

An Iranian missile attack on U.S. forces at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar triggered a cascade of airspace closures across the Middle East on Monday.

After a week of military strikes between Israel and Iran, Qatar is the latest country in the Middle East to shut down its airspace.

On Wednesday, Israeli flag carrier El Al posted a statement on social media saying its first recovery flights landed in Israel that morning.

The renewed suspensions follow the June 2025 escalation in regional conflict, including missile and drone attacks between Israel and Iran.

Delta announced it is expanding service between New York City and Tel Aviv, Israel, to accommodate increased demand over the winter.

The airline will operate the route from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Tel Aviv with an Airbus A330-900neo starting on Tuesday.

The Chicago-based airline is slated to join Delta and resume service to Tel Aviv starting next month with up to two daily flights.

Early reports on Tuesday of an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel have prompted many airlines to reroute flights.

Delta is the latest U.S. airline to announce plans to resume service to Israel after an almost eight-month-long hiatus. Service is set to relaunch in June 2024.
