Israir Cuts Flights: What This Means for Your Israel Travel

March 23, 2026

Planning to fly with Israir to Israel? Here’s what you need to know about the airline’s recent service changes that could affect your travel plans.

Due to new restrictions at Ben Gurion Airport, Israir is significantly scaling back operations. The airline will only operate flights to nearby destinations and is running just 50% of its normal schedule, with a maximum of 50 passengers per flight.

If you purchased an Israir ticket before April 8th, your flight will likely be cancelled. The good news? Israir is offering passengers two options: a 130% credit for future travel or a full cash refund – that’s actually better than most airline policies!

For travelers planning trips to Israel, this means you’ll want to consider alternative airlines or be prepared for potential schedule changes. We recommend booking with major carriers like El Al, United, or Delta for more reliable service during this period.
