German flagship carrier Lufthansa and Italian airline ITA said Thursday they had suspended flights to Tel Aviv for several days following the killings of top Hamas and Hezbollah figures.
Germany’s Lufthansa said Tel Aviv services would be halted until at least August 8 and the suspension of flights to Beirut would be extended by a week until August 12 due to a spike in Middle East tensions.
“Due to current developments, the Lufthansa group is once again adjusting its service to the Middle East,” said a spokesman for the airline, which also includes SWISS and Austrian Airlines.
ITA Airways said flights to and from Tel Aviv would be halted until August 6 due to “geopolitical developments in the Middle East”.
Iran and its regional allies have vowed retaliation against Israel over the killings.
