Carriers operating to and from Israel have continued to slash services as fighting continues in the country’s south and the situation elsewhere remains tense. Data shows that on 9 October airlines cancelled 180 flights out of a total of 510, amounting to 35.3%. This is up slightly from a cancellation rate of 34.9% on 8 October and 27.2% on 7 October. Wizz Air cancelled all services to the country for 8, 9 and 10 October, commenting that updates for beyond dates will be issued in due course. Ryanair says it has been forced to axe its schedule to the country up to 11 October "due to operational restrictions beyond Ryanair’s control". EasyJet has cancelled all services to the country before 13 October. Israeli carriers El Al and Arkia have said they intend to keep operating to and from the country as usual. Turkish Airlines is also continuing to operate to the country. Schedules data shows that of 6,876 flights to and from the country through October, El Al accounts for 21% of capacity, followed by Wizz Air, excluding Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, on 8.3% and Turkish Airlines on 6.2%. They are in turn followed by Israir (6.1%), Ryanair (5%), Pegasus (3.8%), EasyJet (3.4%), Blue Bird Airways (2.6%), Lufthansa (2.3%) and Aegean Airlines (1.9%).

The sale of Scottish carrier Loganair by owners Stephen and Peter Bond has been halted, with the two brothers set to retain their control of the company for the “foreseeable future”. The carrier says that the owners “are fully supportive of its progress and continued development,” continuing their more than 25 years of engagement with the airline. The sale suspension “allows the company to complete the re-fleet programme and address the specific issues impacting the world-wide supply chain availability and costs,” state Stephen and Peter Bond. “There has never been a time-bound reason for the sale of Loganair, and we remain committed to the company until both the right time and custodian to acquire the company is chosen.” Loganair's sale was originally announced in October 2022, with the regional carrier conducting due diligence on potential buyers in February of this year, chief executive Jonathan Hinkles said at the time. He added that Loganair was attracting interest from buyers, including from beyond the aviation sector. Peter and Steven Bond have held stakes in the company since the late-1990s, viewing Loganair as an emotional investment as well as a financial one, said Hinkles. Loganair is deeply connected to many of the communities it serves, providing an essential service to many of Scotland’s islands. As part of the latest announcement, the airline notes that it is trading profitably and free of debt. Its fleet renewal programme is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024 with the retirement of four Saab 340 turboprop aircraft, being replaced by ATR 72-600s. “A multi-million pound refurbishment programme and upgrade of on-board systems for Loganair’s 13 Embraer 145 regional jet aircraft is also under way and will be completed over the next 12 months,” it says.
