Delta Air Lines said on Wednesday it would cancel its flights between Tel Aviv and New York through 21 November, amid growing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Reuters reports.

A host of airlines including Delta, United Airlines and American Airlines have all temporarily halted direct flights to Israel.

Delta had earlier said it would cancel all flights to Israel until 15 November and American Airlines through 4 December.

Georgia-based Delta also said, on Wednesday, booking was suspended earlier this month for flights between Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport and airports in Atlanta and Boston.

All flights between these markets will be cancelled from 1 November, Delta added.
