FORT WORTH, Texas — Fort Worth-based American Airlines has extended its suspension of flights to and from Tel Aviv as the Israel-Hamas war continues.
The airline confirmed it will continue its pause on flights to and from Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport through March 29, 2025. Travelers who are impacted by the change can rebook without a fee or cancel and get a refund, according to American Airlines.
“We will continue to work closely with our partner airlines to assist customers traveling between Israel and European cities with service to the U.S.,” American Airlines said in a statement.

American Airlines hasn’t operated flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport since the Hamas-led attack on Israel in October of last year.
Delta flights between New York-JFK and Tel Aviv are paused through Aug. 31.
