ITA Airways has announced an extension of its suspension of flights to and from Tel Aviv until May 25, 2025.
According to Travel and Tour World, the decision comes amid escalating regional tensions and heightened security concerns following a missile launch by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which reportedly landed near Ben Gurion Airport. This development has raised serious aviation safety risks. ITA Airways' decision aligns with similar actions taken by other major European airlines such as Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines, who have also suspended operations due to the deteriorating security environment.
As reported by Israel Hayom, ITA Airways specifically cancelled its flights AZ809 and AZ815 scheduled for May 19, 2025, as part of this extended suspension. The airline has advised passengers traveling to and from Tel Aviv to monitor updates closely through the Flight Info section on its official website before heading to the airport. This communication underscores the unpredictable nature of the situation and ITA's commitment to ensuring safety while providing timely updates.
