Delta Air Lines is extending its pause of service from Atlanta to Tel Aviv, Israel (TLV) through December 18 as the conflict in the Middle East continues.

On April 29, Delta announced a previous extension of paused service on the route through November 30. The extension now cancels all flights through December 18, with updates being made accordingly as the situation changes.

Service from New York-JFK to Tel Aviv is still planned to restart on September 6, but the airline’s new route from Boston Logan (BOS) to Tel Aviv remains delayed without a launch date.

Those who had booked one of the cancelled flights were notified via email and the Delta app on May 23. Travelers are able to rebook or receive a refund through December 18.
