ITA Airways has announced an extension of its suspension of all flights to and from Tel Aviv through May 11, including flights AZ809 and AZ815 on May 12. This decision is attributed to ongoing regional instability.

On May 4, 2025, a missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport. According to Reuters, the missile landed near the airport, causing panic and minor injuries. This incident prompted several global airlines to suspend flights to and from Israel, raising concerns over air travel safety in the region.

The airline has advised passengers to verify flight status on its website before proceeding to the airport. This measure is part of ITA Airways' commitment to ensuring passenger safety amid the evolving situation.

According to The Times of Israel, the missile attack has resulted in widespread disruptions in international air travel to Israel. Numerous foreign airlines have extended their cancellations of flights to Tel Aviv following the incident, reflecting heightened security concerns. Passengers are encouraged to stay informed about flight statuses and travel advisories.

ITA Airways serves as Italy’s national carrier, established in October 2020 as Alitalia's successor. Headquartered in Rome, it operates a variety of domestic and international routes and is a member of the SkyTeam alliance. As said on the company’s official website, ITA Airways emphasizes sustainable operations and providing a high-standard passenger experience.
