El Al has decided to cancel its Moscow route until early September, extending a temporary suspension announced ten days ago, according to a report by N12 journalist Dean Fisher. The company cited security developments and aviation incidents as the reason for the cancellation, which covers the entire summer season.
The decision is the latest in a series of aviation disruptions affecting Israel's connectivity. As The Zioneer has reported, multiple international carriers — including KLM, Air France, Austrian Airlines, Air Canada, and TAP Air Portugal — have suspended or reduced flights to Israel in recent weeks due to regional security concerns. Additionally, Russia suspended flights between Moscow and Israel earlier this month following Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian airfields. The El Al cancellation marks the first time an Israeli carrier has pulled a route for an extended period, potentially affecting thousands of travelers.
The report is based on a single source and has not yet been officially confirmed by El Al.
