Air France says it has decided to resume its flight services between Tel Aviv and Paris, starting tomorrow.
The French carrier says it will operate a daily flight on the B777-300 aircraft, which includes premium class, bed seats in business class, and Wi-Fi service for every passenger.
“We are happy and excited to resume regular Air France flight services on the route to Israel,” Air France Israel manager Alon Netah says in a statement. “With the resumption of Air France flights on the route to Tel Aviv, Israeli passengers can travel via Charles de Gaulle airport to all Air France destinations in the world just in time for the holiday of Shavuot.”
The airline was among several international carriers to suspend Tel Aviv flights after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept an incoming Houthi ballistic missile from Yemen that impacted near an access road several hundred yards from the control tower at Ben-Gurion airport’s main terminal on May 4.
The Air France KLM Group says it is “constantly monitoring developments in the geopolitical situation in the region to ensure the highest level of flight safety and security.”
