Securing direct flights from Israel to the UK has become increasingly difficult with more airlines cancelling flights after the Hamas attacks.
Virgin is now operating one flight to and from Tel Aviv a day instead of two and BA is flying one round trip.
EasyJet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Air France, Lufthansa and Emirates have suspended flights from Israel into the UK.
EasyJet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Air France, Lufthansa and Emirates have suspended flights from Israel into the UK.
BA’s website shows that its earliest flight to the UK from Ben Gurion Airport is on Monday 16 October and a one-way ticket costing more than £1,300. For the following Monday, a ticket is about £226.
Virgin Atlantic and Israel’s national carrier El Al – which is still operating two flights daily to London Heathrow and two to Luton Airport – have no availability on their UK-bound services until next week.
Several airlines have introduced flexible booking policies and allowed customers to change travel dates for free.
Flightradar24, a website which tracks flights, told the BBC many airlines had cancelled journeys due to safety concerns. But it pointed out that the airspace over Israel isn’t closed, so the number of flights flying to or from Tel Aviv “is currently down to individual operators”.
