Why it matters:
The lengthy extension by a major European airline underscores the persistent perception of high risk and instability around the Zionist regime’s main airport. It reflects continued disruption to international travel and connectivity due to the conflict, impacting passengers and the airline industry.
The big picture:
The decision comes in response to ongoing aggression by the Zionist regime. It is part of a broader trend of international airlines canceling or suspending service to the occupied Palestinian territories due to security concerns, further isolating the regime's air travel infrastructure.
What they are saying:
- ITA Airway said the move was taken “to guarantee the safety of passengers and crew in the current unstable regional context.”
- The announcement stated the suspension covers all round-trip flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport.
Key points:
- Flights are now suspended until October 1, 2025 (Mehr 9, 1404 on the Persian calendar).
- The airline cited “increased tensions and security warnings” following the escalation of the conflict.
