The ballistic missile fired by the Houthis in Yemen that hit the Ben-Gurion Airport compound on Sunday morning, injuring six people, halted incoming and outgoing flights for about an hour. In the wake of the incident, a number of airlines canceled their flights to Israel on Sunday for the next 48 hours, including Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Swiss Air, and Wizz Air. American carriers United and Delta—both of which had only recently resumed flights to Israel—have also canceled their flights, along with France’s Transavia and its Air France, Air Canada, Japan’s Nippon Airways, Spain’s Air Europa, and British Airways. Delta Air Lines cancelled its flight on Sunday from New York to Tel Aviv, as well as its returning Monday flight.
