Airline easyJet has suspended all of its flights to Israel for the next six months amid the fears of a larger war in the Middle East .
An easyJet spokesperson said on Tuesday: “As a result of the continued evolving situation in Israel, easyJet has now taken the decision to suspend its flights to Tel Aviv for the remainder of the summer season. Customers booked to fly on this route up to this date are being offered options, including a full refund."
Many European and Asian airlines fly over the region on their way between a number of popular destinations in Asia. If they decide to reroute ticket prices may increase, as fuel costs and flight times are likely to rise. Deutsche Lufthansa, Qantas Airways and Singapore Airlines are all currently considering what to do, Euronews reports.
German airline group Lufthansa suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv, Erbil and Amman up to and including Monday, with services due to restart today. Flights to Beirut and Tehran would remain suspended until at least 18 April, the aviation firm has said.
