BAKU. Sept 24 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan's AZAL air carrier has suspended flights from Baku to Israel's Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv for security reasons owing to the escalation of the situation in the Middle East, the carrier's press service told Interfax.

Resumption of flights on the Baku-Tel Aviv-Baku route will depend on the further development of the situation, the company representative said.
