Delta, American extend flight suspensions to Israel


Delta Airlines is extending its suspension of flights to Israel by another month as Israel’s war with Hamas goes on. The Wednesday, Aug. 21, announcement came just days after American Airlines also extended its suspension of flights to Tel Aviv through March 29 of 2025.

Delta’s extension currently only lasts through Oct. 31. Both airlines said customers with tickets on flights that are being canceled can rebook — generally at no extra charge — or cancel their trip altogether and get a refund.

Delta said it will allow customers to use its site to rebook on partner airlines EL AL and Air France. American said it will work with its partners to help customers fly between Israel and European cities that offer flights to the United States. 

Delta, American and United Airlines all stopped flying to Israel shortly after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that started the war. United recently said it has suspended its service there indefinitely
