The airline also said it has pushed back the restart of its Atlanta to Tel Aviv route until early August because of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Flights from Atlanta to Tel Aviv will not operate through Aug. 4, while the Tel Aviv to Atlanta service is paused through Aug. 5, Delta said.

Affected customers will receive cancellation notices beginning March 14 and can adjust travel plans under a waiver that allows changes or refunds for trips scheduled through April 30, according to the company.
