United Airlines has canceled flights to Tel Aviv until May 2nd due to ongoing security concerns in the region. Following Iran’s drone and missile attack last week, Israel launched a counterstrike on Iranian military sites on April 18th, with the whole situation causing a major headache for airlines operating in or over the region.
United cancels Tel Aviv flights
After resuming service to Tel Aviv in early March, United Airlines has now suspended service to the city once again. The carrier ordinarily operates a daily roundtrip between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) with its Boeing 787-10 fleet, offering a total of 4,452 weekly seats between the two airports. According to Cirium data, it had also planned a second daily flight on Saturdays and Sundays in May, but this will be shelved until May 18th.
