The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran is having a major impact on air travel to and from the region.
Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport has been closed until further notice after Israel launched a missile attack on Iran on Friday - sparking an air war between the two enemy powers.
On Sunday, Israel’s El Al Airlines announced it is cancelling flights to and from many European cities as the conflict escalates.
The carrier said it was suspending flights until June 23.
London Heathrow is among the airports affected by the move.
Three El Al flights from Heathrow to Tel Aviv on Sunday have been cancelled. They are:
* El Al LY216 (due to depart at 8am BST)
* El Al LY316 (due to depart at 3.15pm BST)
* El Al LY318 (due to depart at 10.10pm BST)
British Airways is not currently operating flights to Tel Aviv.
EasyJet flights from Luton to Tel Aviv are currently suspended and not scheduled to resume until August 1, 2025.
In May, Ryanair on extended its suspension of flight services to Tel Aviv until July 31, following a Houthi missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport at the beginning of the month.
That suspension has now been extended until September amid the explosion in violence between Israel and Iran.
Wizz Air decided on Friday to suspend its operations to Tel Aviv and reroute all of its flights, where possible, that were due to overfly the affected airspaces for the next 72 hours.
The airline normally operates flights to Tel Aviv from both Gatwick and Luton.
There are currently no direct flights between the UK and Iran.
The flight cancellations come as the UK advised Britons against all travel to Israel amid the escalating conflict with Iran.
On Sunday, the government updated its travel guidance for Israel from “amber” to “red”.
The FCDO website warns that "travel insurance could be invalidated" if people travel against the advice, and described the current status as a "fast-moving situation that poses significant risks".
