Oct 15 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) said on

Tuesday it will pause its flights between New York's JFK airport

and Tel Aviv through March, due to escalating conflict and

safety concerns in Israel.

The airline said it has issued a travel waiver for all

customers who were booked on its flights to travel to and from

Tel Aviv before March 31, 2025.

It had earlier suspended flights to Tel Aviv through the end

of 2024.

Several airlines globally have suspended their services to

Israel and Lebanon, while also revising schedules to avoid the

Iranian and Lebanese airspace, in an attempt to ensure passenger

safety as security concerns rise in the region.
