British low-cost airline EasyJet announced on Tuesday that it is extending its suspension of flights to Israel until Aug. 1.
The postponement follows similar moves by British Airways and EasyJet’s low cost competitor Ryanair, even as an increasing number of other airlines, led by Delta Air Lines and then United Airlines and Air France, have renewed flights to Tel Aviv.
The budget airline had previously said that it would renew flights to Israel in July.
EasyJet’s low-cost Hungarian rival Wizz Air resumed service to Tel Aviv last month and is in negotiations to set up an Israeli subsidiary.
A May 4 Houthi missile attack on Israel’s main international airport led to a wave of foreign airline cancellations which are still impacting the start to the busy summer travel season.
