Flights are still being disrupted and rerouted after Iran’s attack on Israel
Flights to Israel are set to remain disrupted for months amid heightened tensions with Iran, while other routes may take longer as airlines skirt the volatile region. British low-cost carrier easyJet Tuesday said it was extending its suspension of Israel flights for the remainder of the summer season, until Oct. 27, and would refund customers due to fly. Rival Wizz Air resumed flights to Tel Aviv on Tuesday but said that passengers may experience “schedule changes” and that it was monitoring the situation. Dutch airline KLM canceled flights to Israel until April 21, and said it was not flying over Iran and Israel. Air India said it had temporarily suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv and its Tuesday service was listed as canceled. Germany’s Lufthansa Group said it had resumed flights to Tel Aviv, Amman, Jordan, and Irbil, Iraq, on Tuesday, but had canceled flights to Tehran, Iran, and Beirut up until Thursday. It also said it is not using Iranian airspace currently. United Airlines, the only U.S. airline currently flying to Israel, suspended flights and has offered customers due to travel to Tel Aviv before May 1 a full refund; while Air Canada has warned of delays to Israel services. Along with flights from national carrier El Al, flights from European airlines Swiss, Transavia and AeroItalia were en route to Tel Aviv on Tuesday afternoon London time, according to Flightradar24 data.<br/>
