Foreign airlines continue to cancel flights to and from Israel through Tuesday, according to reports, even as the immediate escalation appears to have been delayed.
Reports indicate that multiple foreign airlines are continuing to cancel flights to and from Israel through Tuesday, July 28, despite the apparent delay in the immediate escalation. The cancellations cover several carriers, though the specific airlines and total number of affected flights were not detailed in the reports.
The development follows ITA Airways' extension of its flight suspensions through Tuesday, as The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday. The Italian carrier initially cited 'political reasons' for the cancellations, but later updated its official statement to attribute the move to 'operational reasons,' according to journalist Dean Fisher (Channel 12), as reported by The Zioneer at 18:38 Jerusalem on Saturday.
The cancellations are part of a broader pattern of airline suspensions amid regional security concerns. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar extensions by Air France (through June 30), KLM (through July 27), Air Canada (through October 24), and Air India (postponed return to September 30). The current wave of cancellations reflects ongoing uncertainty despite the delay in escalation.
It remains unclear which specific airlines are included in the latest extension beyond ITA Airways, and the total number of affected flights has not been disclosed.
