Portuguese airline TAP cancels Lisbon-Tel Aviv route until August 31

Portuguese carrier TAP Air Portugal is suspending its flights between Lisbon and Tel Aviv through August 31, according to an Israeli media report. The cancellation extends a period of reduced European air connectivity to Israel amid ongoing security tensions.

TAP Air Portugal has canceled its Lisbon–Tel Aviv route until August 31, Israeli media reported Thursday. The decision follows a pattern of foreign carriers reducing or suspending service to Israel since the escalation with Iran in early June, when Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily closed amid military activity (as The Zioneer reported June 7). The cancellation affects passengers holding existing bookings; TAP has not issued a public statement beyond what was reported by N12. No other Portuguese airlines serve the route.
