United Airlines has announced the cancellation of flights to Tel Aviv up to May 9, citing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians as the reason for this decision.
The airline's decision comes amidst escalating tensions in the region, with violent clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants continuing to escalate.
United Airlines stated that the safety and security of their customers and employees are their top priority, and they will continue to monitor the situation closely before making any further decisions regarding flight operations to Tel Aviv.
Passengers who have been affected by these cancellations are being offered options for rebooking or refunds, and the airline is working to assist them in any way possible.
United Airlines had previously suspended flights to Tel Aviv in mid-May due to the conflict, and this latest extension of cancellations reflects the ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the region.
Other airlines have also adjusted their flight schedules in response to the conflict, with many opting to avoid flying over Israeli airspace for safety reasons.
As the situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories remains fluid, airlines are closely monitoring developments and making decisions based on the safety and security of their passengers and crew.
United Airlines has advised passengers to check their flight status regularly and to contact the airline for any further assistance or information regarding their travel plans to Tel Aviv.
