American carriers United Airlines and Delta Airlines announced separately on July 31 that they have temporarily suspended flights to Tel Aviv in Israel due to the current security situation in the Middle East.

In an update on its official website, Delta Airlines said it is pausing flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Tel Aviv through at least Aug. 2 due to “ongoing conflict” in the region.

Sales are suspended for four flights that were scheduled to land in Tel Aviv on dates before then: DL234 on Jul. 31 and Aug. 1 and DL235 on Aug. 1 and Aug. 2.

The airline said customers impacted by the changes to its schedule would be notified via the Fly Delta app and contact information listed in their booking.

Delta Airlines has also issued a travel waiver for all customers who booked flights to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport before Aug. 14 so that they can rebook travel on available flights on or before Sept. 6 without paying a fare difference.
