Delta Extends Suspension of Flights Between JFK & Tel Aviv Until March 31 Due to Middle East Turmoil

Delta Air Lines has announced that it will extend its suspension of flights between New York’s JFK Airport and Tel Aviv until March 31, citing ongoing instability in the Middle East. The airline initially paused its flights to Tel Aviv following the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which heightened security concerns and led many international carriers to halt or adjust their operations in the region. Although Delta briefly resumed flights in June of this year, it reimplemented the suspension in August due to continuing regional unrest.
