The airline had earlier halted services until June 17 after Israeli airspace was closed in response to Iran's missile strikes over the weekend. "Once approvals are received from the relevant security and aviation authorities, we will do everything possible to allow as many Israelis as possible to return home, gradually resume our regular flight schedule and operate rescue flights from destinations near Israel," El Al said in a statement. Israel's National Security Council (NSC) has also issued a heightened Level 4 travel advisory for travel through Egypt's Sinai region and Jordan, despite both borders remaining open, urging citizens to avoid non-essential travel. The surge in cancellations marks the most significant disruption in regional aviation since the October 2023 Israel-Gaza conflict, when most foreign airlines ceased operations into Tel Aviv. Many had only recently resumed flights before the latest escalation with Iran.
