The ongoing war conflict between Israel and Hamas, which escalated in October 2023, has severely impacted air travel in both Israel and Lebanon. The conflict has led to significant disruptions in flight operations, changes in airspace usage, and heightened security measures, affecting international and domestic flights in both countries.
Major international airlines, including those from Europe, North America, and Asia, have either suspended or significantly reduced flights to Ben Gurion Airport. Airlines such as American Airlines, Delta, Lufthansa, Air France, and Emirates have canceled their flight attacks on the airport. While some airlines continue to operate, many are reassessing the safety of flying into Israeli airspace as the conflict evolves.
In response to rocket fire and the ongoing military operations, Israeli airspace has seen partial closures and restrictions. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are closely monitoring flight patterns to ensure the safety of both civilian and military aircraft. Civil aviation is subject to real-time adjustments based on the security situation, and flights entering or leaving Israel may face sudden delays, rerouting, or cancellations.
While Lebanon is not directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the country is feeling the indirect effects due to its proximity to Israel and the involvement of Hezbollah, a militant group based in southern Lebanon. The rising tension on the Israel-Lebanon border has raised fears of a broader regional escalation, which has impacted Lebanon’s aviation sector. This would severely affect Lebanon’s connectivity, given its reliance on Beirut as the main hub for international travel.
