Virgin Atlantic has announced it plans to permanently suspend its flights to Tel Aviv. The British airline announced on Monday it will not resume flights to the occupied Palestinian land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said the move follows its temporary suspension of the airline’s London Heathrow\u2013Tel Aviv route after the Israeli regime launched the campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter careful consideration, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel our services between London Heathrow and Tel Aviv … we are committed to providing you with alternative travel options,\u201d the airline said in its travel update.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UK carrier decided to permanently cancel flights between London Heathrow and Tel Aviv Ben Gurion, after postponing the resumption of the route several times since the start of Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will continue to serve Tel Aviv as the only UK airline to have a partnership with EL AL, Israel\u2019s national carrier, on services between Tel Aviv Ben Gurion and London Heathrow,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through an agreement made with EL AL, travelers henceforth would use the Israeli airline for \u201cconnections between Israel, the UK and the US, specifically to Las Vegas, Miami, New York and Atlanta,\u201d it further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The British airline pointed out that passengers who have booked tickets with Virgin Atlantic will be entitled to a refund or can be rebooked on flight services operated by EL AL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza began, many airlines have suspended their services to Tel Aviv, including United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Air France and Lufthansa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
