Airlines Cancel Flights to and from Israel Amid Missile and Drone Attacks

Airlines canceled flights to and from Israel as the country fended off a barrage of missile and drone attacks from Iran on Saturday. Israel prepared for the missile and drone attacks by closing its airspace to both domestic and international airlines starting at 12:30 a.m. Sunday local time. In a statement to Fox News Digital, United Airlines said that it canceled Saturday's flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Ben Gurion International Airport, in Tel Aviv, Israel .

United Airlines said that they will "continue to evaluate" their planned Sunday flight from Newark to Tel Aviv. United's reevaluation came after the airline resumed service to Israel on March 3, following the Oct. 7 attack. Delta Air Lines was scheduled to restart flights to Tel Aviv on June 7. American Airlines has not resumed Israeli service. International airlines, like Israel’s El Al and Air France, have canceled its flights for Sunday. According to their website, El Al had canceled 28 flights at the time of publication.
