March 12 (Reuters) - ‌Delta Air ​Lines ​said on Thursday it was extending the ‌pause on its New York-Tel ⁠Aviv service till the end of ‌the month.

Escalating tensions ‌in the Middle East have disrupted global aviation since late ​February, when U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran triggered ⁠retaliatory attacks and airspace closures across parts ​of the region.

Airlines have suspended flights to Israel and ​several Gulf hubs, ‌or rerouted, as governments impose flight restrictions and ⁠carriers reassess safety risks.

Delta paused its service between New York's ⁠John F. Kennedy International Airport and Tel ​Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport late February, in response to the conflict.

The carrier ‌also said it was delaying resumption of its ‌flights from Atlanta to ⁠Tel Aviv ‌through August 4.
