Hundreds of Israeli passengers were stranded at King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, Jordan, after Jordanian authorities suspended flights operated by Israel’s Arkia Airlines on Sunday. Israeli Channel 12 reported that the suspension left many travelers unable to depart. Jordan has not issued any official comment on the matter.

The disruption follows escalating regional tensions after Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Tel Aviv in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes that began on February 28. In response, Israel closed its Ben Gurion Airport. Arkia, Israel’s second-largest airline, had announced plans last week to shift most of its operations to airports in Jordan and Egypt.

However, according to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Jordanian authorities have blocked Arkia’s relocation plan. Israeli aviation officials said the airline may have to cancel all flights operating through Jordan. Arkia stated that part of its operations would be moved to Egypt’s Taba Airport, depending on operational capacity and necessary permissions.
