Israel’s national carrier El Al and its Sun D’Or subsidiary have cancelled all flights until 2:00am on Tuesday due to the continued closure of Israeli airspace. The cancellations cover both scheduled departures and return flights.
Bookings for services up to 21 March have been temporarily suspended to allow the airline to prioritise affected passengers for rescue flights back to Israel.
The airline said customers will be notified proactively about their placement on those flights.
