EASYJET SUSPENDS FLIGHTS TO ISRAEL UNTIL OCTOBER

EasyJet has suspended flights to Tel Aviv for the next six months following Iran's missile and drone attack against Israel at the weekend.

The airline said it will halt flights until 23 October, blaming "the continued evolving situation in Israel".

EasyJet had only recently resumed flying to Tel Aviv following Hamas' assault on Israel last year, sparking a war on the Gaza Strip.

The company said: "Customers booked to fly on this route up this date are being offered options including a full refund."
