Dutch aviation giant KLM announced Wednesday evening that it will suspend its Amsterdam–Tel Aviv route starting this Sunday, March 1, stating that flights to Tel Aviv are “not commercially and operationally feasible.”
The company said passengers affected by the decision will receive personal notifications and be offered options to reschedule their flights or receive a refund. “KLM will continue to monitor developments and reassess the decision בהתאם to the circumstances,” the statement said.
KLM is the first airline to suspend its flights to Israel amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran and growing concerns over a potential Iranian strike against Israel.
