flag Airline flights to Israel suspended until at least March 29 due to Israel-Iran conflict, safety rules, and lack of emergency pilot certifications.

flag Ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has led to widespread flight suspensions by international carriers, including Wizz Air, Lufthansa, British Airways, and Air Canada, with many extending cancellations into April or beyond due to safety concerns and airspace restrictions. flag Wizz Air halted flights to Israel until at least March 29, citing EU aviation rules from EASA that prohibit flights during emergencies regardless of crew nationality. flag A major obstacle remains the lack of special emergency pilot certifications for foreign crews, though Wizz Air may use neighboring countries like Egypt as alternate routes. flag The Israeli government seeks an EASA exception, but the proposed hub at Ben Gurion Airport remains stalled amid regulatory and competitive concerns.
