Dutch airliner KLM has cancelled all flights to and from Israel’s Tel Aviv airport until October 26, Al Jazeera reports according to the Reuters news agency.
The decision by KLM comes amid mounting tension in the region following the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which has been widely blamed on Israel.
Several other airlines — including Air France, Germany’s Lufthansa, the US’s Delta and United, Swiss International Air and Hungary’s budget airline Wizz Air — have also suspended flights to Israel in recent days.
