KLM to temporarily suspend flights between Amsterdam and Tel Aviv amid rising Middle East tensions.
The Dutch airline KLM announced it will temporarily suspend flights between Amsterdam and Tel Aviv starting March 1, citing operational and commercial challenges, according to a company statement.
KLM, the Netherlands-based arm of the Air France-KLM group (AIRF.PA), said it is not “commercially or operationally feasible” to continue operating flights to the Israeli city at this time. The airline did not provide additional details regarding the suspension.
The decision comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly with Iran, and concerns about the potential for military conflict in the region. Analysts suggest that airlines are increasingly cautious about routes to areas where geopolitical risks may affect safety, logistics, and passenger demand.
KLM operates multiple flights weekly between Amsterdam and Tel Aviv, one of its key routes connecting Europe and the Middle East.
