Due to the alarming escalation of tension surrounding the development of the military conflict on the territory of Israel, Bulgaria Air is forced to cancel flights FB 571/2 on the route Sofia - Tel Aviv - Sofia, scheduled for 12 October 2023, Bulgaria’s national air carrier announced.

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.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again urged Bulgarian citizens in Israel to register at the embassy, whether they wish to leave Israel or not. "The situation in the State of Israel remains extremely tense. That is why we advise Bulgarian citizens to refrain from travelling to Israel", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
