Virgin Atlantic chief executive Shai Weiss said late on Wednesday (11 October) Virgin had suspended flights to Israel for 72 hours to ensure the safety and security of staff and customers.
Weiss, who is Israeli, also said Virgin Atlantic would continue to “evaluate the situation closely” and would work with authorities in the UK and Israel to restart flights as soon as possible.
“It’s our hope that we’ll be able to operate an essential service into Tel Aviv for our customers soon, but only if and when it is safe to do so,” Weiss said.
