Today, flights departing from London and Paris, bound for destinations in the Persian Gulf and India, are being rerouted through nearby European regions. However, the situation remains fluid, and several countries have already suspended flights to Israel.
The Israeli government has issued travel advisories based on threat levels. The most significant advisories state
No Travel Threat (Level 1): Basic precautionary measures are recommended.
Potential Threat (Level 2): Increased precautionary measures are advised.
Moderate Threat Level (Level 3): Unnecessary travel to Israel is recommended to be avoided.
High Threat Level (Level 4): Travel to Israel is prohibited, and those already there should leave immediately.
Authorities have informed travelers to stay informed about the latest developments and follow official travel advisories from the Israeli government and other relevant authorities.
Additionally, travelers should be aware that the situation may change rapidly, and flights could be further affected. For specific details on flight schedules and potential resumption of routine services, I recommend checking with airlines directly or monitoring official government announcements.
For travelers arriving in Israel, it’s worth noting that starting from Monday, May 15, 2023, there are no longer COVID restrictions on entering Israel from abroad. However, confirmed COVID cases are advised not to board flights, and if necessary, wearing a mask during the flight is recommended.
Travelers are advised to stay updated with official sources for any changes to travel advisories and flight operations.
