Travelers flying to and from Israel received unwelcome news Monday after Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air announced a temporary suspension of its flights to the country following the latest security developments in the region.

The airline said it is canceling all flights to Israel on June 8 and June 9 as a precautionary measure in response to the ongoing escalation.

The decision came after a Wizz Air flight from Warsaw to Ben Gurion Airport was diverted to Larnaca, Cyprus, and did not complete its journey to Israel. According to reports, the pilot elected not to continue the flight to Tel Aviv. Wizz Air is among the first foreign airlines to suspend service to Israel in response to the current situation.

The company stated that, as of now, it plans to resume flights on June 10, subject to security conditions. Wizz Air emphasized that the safety of its passengers and crew remains its highest priority and said it continues to monitor developments in coordination with the relevant authorities.

Meanwhile, the Israel Airports Authority stressed that Ben Gurion Airport remains fully operational. The statement followed a security assessment conducted by the transportation minister and other officials.

Airport authorities said they are maintaining ongoing communication with the Ministry of Transportation, the Civil Aviation Authority, the Home Front Command, and other professional agencies to assess the evolving situation.

Officials also urged travelers to stay in close contact with their airlines and monitor official announcements, warning that additional carriers could adjust their flight schedules depending on future security developments.
