Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Permanently Cancel Flights to Israel
Turkish Airlines and Pegasus confirmed the suspension of all flights to Israel. Services to Ben Gurion Airport had already been halted since October 2023 and are now permanently canceled.
Turkey’s two largest airlines — Turkish Airlines and Pegasus — have officially confirmed the cancellation of all flights to Israel. According to company representatives, previously suspended flights to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv will not resume, and routes in that direction have been removed from schedules.
Flights to Israel were initially suspended in October 2023 following the outbreak of hostilities in the Gaza Strip. Since then, the airlines have not resumed service, citing safety concerns. Today’s announcement confirms that these routes, once labeled as temporary suspensions, are now permanently canceled.
The decision to fully terminate flights to Israel comes amid continued instability in the region. Turkish carriers stated that passengers with existing tickets will receive refunds or be offered alternative routes. Details on compensation and rescheduling will be published on the official websites of the airlines.
The cancellation of Turkish Airlines and Pegasus flights reflects the ongoing shift in air traffic patterns across the Middle East, driven by security and political concerns. It is expected that similar measures may impact other regional destinations as well.
At this time, there is no indication of when the decision might be reconsidered. Company representatives noted that route restoration would only be possible if security conditions significantly improve and risks to civil aviation are reduced.
