British Airways and Virgin Atlantic were among the European airlines to cancel services on Thursday (13 May) due to the intensifying crisis which has seen rockets fired from the Palestinian area of Gaza into Israel.
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said: “We are monitoring events in Israel extremely carefully and keeping our Tel Aviv flight operations under constant review.
“Based on our latest assessment, we have taken the decision to cancel flight VS453 from Heathrow to Tel Aviv today, Thursday 13 May, which will also result in the cancellation of the return leg VS454 from Tel Aviv.”
