Cathay Pacific extends suspension of Israel flights until March 2025

Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific has announced that it will extend the suspension of its flights to Israel until March 2025. Like all foreign airlines, Cathay Pacific initially suspended flights to Israel after October 7. Since then, the suspension has been extended until March 2024, October 2024 and now until next year.

Many foreign airlines have not yet resumed flights to Israel, although EasyJet, American Airlines, Air Canada and others are scheduled to resume flights to Tel Aviv in October 2024. Cathay Pacific joins Turkish Airlines, which previously operated 12 daily flights from Istanbul to Tel Aviv and will not resume flights until next year.

Before the war, Cathay Pacific operated three weekly flights between Hong Kong and Tel Aviv.
