Air travel to Israel has been considerably shaken up by the tragic events of October 7 and the subsequent war in Gaza. Following Hamas’ shock attack in Southern Israel, international airlines around the world temporarily halted their routes to Israel, leaving a surprising lack of options for those wishing to make their way in and out of the country.

With airlines around the world delaying and resuming their flights to Israel seemingly every few days, prospective travelers may want to know which are also planning their returns to the Holy Land, and which are currently offering flights.

The below list is subject to change as events continue to unfold (and there’s definitely a lot unfolding), but here’s a look at what’s going where as of November 11, 2024:
