Bulgaria Air has cancelled its FB 571/2 flights on the Sofia - Tel Aviv - Sofia route due to the "alarming escalation of tension surrounding the development of the military conflict on the territory of Israel," the airline said in a press release on Wednesday.

"The cancellation of the flights is related to the highest level of risk because of the situation in the Middle East, given by security experts, and in view of the increased security measures in the airspace over Israel," Bulgaria Air said.

"Indicative of the seriousness of the situation is the reaction of more than 25 European and international airlines, which have also canceled their flights to/from Tel Aviv International Airport in the following days," the press release said.

The airline is offering a free change on all purchased tickets for travel to/from Tel Aviv until the end of October, and the newly issued tickets must be within one year.
