Hong Kong's flagship carrier, Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., has announced the cancellation of all flights between Hong Kong and Tel Aviv for the rest of 2023. The decision comes in light of the ongoing situation in Israel.

The cancellation affects all flights from Sunday to December 31, 2023. This decision is expected to have significant implications for travelers between the two cities. Prior to the suspension, Cathay Pacific operated three flights a week to Israel.
Cathay Pacific has assured that customers with tickets for travel between the cities through March 31, 2024, can rebook, reroute, or refund their travel without the usual fees. The airline has advised customers who have already begun their journey and have not received a message from Cathay Pacific to check the current status of their booking.
The cancellation of flights between Hong Kong and Tel Aviv underscores the impact of geopolitical events on international travel. It remains to be seen how this situation will evolve and what steps Cathay Pacific will take in response to future developments.
