Flights to Israel from Uzbekistan canceled amid regional airspace closures

Flights on the Tashkent–Tel Aviv–Tashkent route have been temporarily suspended from June 16 to June 30 due to airspace restrictions at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport. This was announced by Uzbekistan Airways.

The airline stated that passengers affected by the cancellations are eligible for a full refund or may rebook their flights for later dates free of charge.

It should be recalled that a similar disruption occurred earlier, when flight 9S 501/502 on the Samarkand–Tel Aviv route, scheduled for June 15, was canceled due to the temporary closure of Ben Gurion Airport and surrounding regional airspace.

Additionally, several other flights from Tashkent were canceled due to the closure of Iranian airspace. These included Flydubai’s Dubai–Tashkent–Dubai flights FZ-1945/1946, Air Arabia’s Sharjah–Tashkent–Sharjah flights G9-270/271, and Asia Union’s Tashkent–Medina–Tashkent flights 7Q-141/142.
