You can't trust them: the Scandinavians have canceled the route to Israel again

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has announced the cancellation of the resumption of direct flights between Copenhagen and Tel Aviv, after previously announcing it. The company cited an updated assessment of operational and commercial factors, noting that conditions are not yet suitable for launching the route. This is the second time the company has suspended its operations in Israel within a short period.

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) announced today (Thursday) the cancellation of plans to resume direct flights between Copenhagen and Tel Aviv. The company, the largest in Northern Europe, issued an official statement stating that an updated assessment of operational and commercial factors led to the conclusion that conditions are not yet suitable for launching the route. This is another disappointment for Israeli travelers, as SAS stopped flying to Israel about a decade ago, in March 2016, briefly resumed operations in October 2025, and after a few months suspended flights again. The article notes that the company cited changes in circumstances since the announcement and that it will continue to evaluate the possibility of future service. The headline uses informal language ('You can't trust them') expressing frustration, but the body of the article mainly reports the company's official announcement.
