Delta and United Air Lines are canceling all flights to Israel until further notice after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport. A Delta Boeing 747 from New York was flying over the Mediterranean headed for Tel Aviv on Tuesday when it turned around and flew to Paris instead. Flight 468 had 273 passengers and 17 crew on board.
Delta and United Air Lines are canceling all flights to Israel until further notice after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport.
American Airlines also canceled one flight to Israel today that was due to leave from Philadelphia. The airline said it is monitoring the situation for future flights. U.S. Airways also suspended service to Israel Tuesday.
“We are suspending operations to/from Tel Aviv until further notice,” said United Spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm. “We are working with government officials to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees and will continue to evaluate the situation.
White House spokesman said the Federal Aviation Administration had not as yet not issued a “NOTAM,” or Notice to Airmen, which would warn airlines of hazards along a flight route or at a destination. However, the FAA is considering a ban on flights by US airlines to Israel, Globes News reported.
Israeli police said a rocket fired from Gaza landed near the airport, damaging a house and wounding one Israeli.
Airlines and passengers are growing more anxious about safety since last week, when a Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. Airlines have rerouted planes to avoid the area over eastern Ukraine where pro-Soviet separatists are battling the Ukrainian army.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country’s ongoing offensive in Gaza would continue “as long as necessary” to end attacks on Israeli civilians.
