BA, Wizz Air pause Israel flights again

Tuesday, 27 Aug, 2024 0

With tensions continuing to escalate, more airlines have cancelled Israel flights again, including British Airways and Wizz Air.

BA said it will halt Israel flights from London Heathrow until at least Wednesday this week.

Wizz Air is also ‘temporarily suspending flights to and from Israel’.

Both airlines reintroduced flights to Tel Aviv earlier this year.

“We’ve been continually monitoring the situation in the Middle East and have taken the operational decision to suspend our flights up to and including Wednesday 28 August,” a BA spokesperson said.

“We’re contacting customers to advise them of their travel options.”

So far, Wizz Air hasn’t given a timeline when it expects to resume Israel flights.

In both cases, booked passengers can rebook or apply for a refund.

There has been tit-for-tat air strikes and missile raids between Israel and Hezbollah.

Virgin Atlantic said after a ‘security and safety assessment’ its current pause on Israel flights has been extended to September 25.

“We have taken the difficult decision to delay the restart of our Tel Aviv services.”

“Our teams will be in contact with those affected to discuss options, which include rebooking or a full refund.”
