Ryanair has suspended flights into Tel Aviv following Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas and the latest scaling up of violence and conflict between it and Palestine.
The Irish airline flies to Israel from Belgium, France, Poland and Lithuania, but has suspended flights until safety levels have improved.
While Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport remained open, a host of international airlines announced suspended routes into and out of the hub – including TAP Air Portugal, Lufthansa, Air France, Wizz Air, EasyJet, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Finnair.
