Delta Air Lines Inc. and United Airlines Holdings Inc. suspended flights to Tel Aviv following Israel’s bombing of Iran and the closure of Israel’s airspace.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is suspending its flights to Israel through August in response to conflict in the region. The move comes after Israel launched strikes across Iran, targeting Iran’s nuclear program and military sites, The Associated Press reported.

As conflict continues to escalate between the two nations, Delta Air Lines has made the decision to stop all flights from New York-JFK to Tel Aviv until at least August 31. "Delta has paused flights to Tel Aviv (TLV) from New York-JFK through August 31 in response to the current conflict in the region," Delta wrote in a statement on Friday.

Israel's attack on Iran scrambled air travel, with United and Delta flights to Tel Aviv turning around midway and other airlines canceling flights.

Israel's airspace remains closed following a military strike in Iran, leaving tens of thousands of Israelis stranded worldwide. El Al and foreign carriers suspend flights, while authorities organize rescue efforts.

Several flights diverted after Israel's Iran strikes early Friday while Delta and United canceled their service to Tel Aviv.

Following overnight attacks between Israel and Iran, major global carriers have canceled or redirected flights, closed airspace and extended service suspensions across the region.

Global air traffic has been disrupted following Israel’s strikes on Iran Friday, with several major airlines suspending flights to and from locations in the Middle East and rerouting their planes to avoid much of the region’s airspace.

U.S. airline shares dropped Friday after oil prices jumped and flights were disrupted as fighting between Israel and Iran sparked worries of a broad and protracted Middle East conflict.
