The British budget airline, EasyJet, has reportedly cancelled a significant number of its tickets for flights heading to and from Israel, set to depart until the end of October. This report comes from the news service of the international media corporation, Caen.
On Friday, March 1, Israeli passengers who had previously secured tickets on these EasyJet flights received unexpected notifications that their tickets had been cancelled. The sudden cancellation has left many passengers in a state of confusion and inconvenience.
The airline, however, has not provided any official statement or explanation pertaining to the sudden cancellation of these flights. This has led to speculation and uncertainty among the affected passengers, causing further distress.
Despite the lack of an official statement, it appears that the primary reason behind the cancellation of these flights may be the high service fees imposed at the third terminal of Ben Gurion Airport. This speculation is based on recent events and the general industry scenario.
Just last week, PassportNews reported that Ryanair, an Irish ultra-low-cost airline, had made a request to Ben Gurion Airport. The airline had sought permission to operate its flights from Terminal Three at the rates applicable for Terminal One, until Terminal One was fully operational again. Unfortunately, their request was rejected by the airport authorities. In response to this rejection, Ryanair announced that it would not resume its flights to Israel until Terminal One was reopened.
