TUS Airways to Temporarily Suspend All Flights to Tel Aviv, Israel
TUS Airways on Friday announced its decision to temporarily suspend all services to/from Tel Aviv, amid Israel’s conflict with Hamas, with effect from Saturday, October 14.
The suspension of services includes all Tel Aviv flights to/from Larnaca, Athens, Paphos and Heraklion.
“TUS Airways deeply regrets the need to suspend services to and from Tel Aviv. Safety remains our primary responsibility and this decision has been made after a thorough review of the developing situation,” TUS Airways CCO Philip Saunders said.
From last Saturday until Friday, October 13, TUS has continued operations and even added more than 25 flights to/from Tel Aviv to support its customers and facilitate travelers to their desired destinations.
“Over the last few days, our crews and head office teams have done an amazing job adding many additional flights to provide an air bridge to and from Israel,” Saunders said, adding that TUS “will always be committed” to serving Tel Aviv.
TUS Airways will continue to review the situation daily with the objective of resuming services safely at the earliest opportunity.
The airline has requested that its customers refrain from calling its contact center with regards confirmed flight cancellations as high call volumes are preventing staff from answering within normal waiting times.
TUS Airways will refund ticketed passengers booked on cancelled flights seeking a refund as quickly as possible and provide further updates as soon as they are available.
