British Airways further postpones the resumption of flight services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport to August 1, when it says it will begin operating a reduced schedule due to the “ongoing situation in the Middle East.”
The UK carrier says it is cutting Tel Aviv flights from “double daily to one daily flight, which is scheduled to resume from August 1.” British Airways previously planned to restart flights to Tel Aviv on July 1.
“We’re keeping the situation under constant review and are directly in touch with affected customers to offer them a range of options,” British Airways says in an emailed statement. “Since the disruption began, we’ve helped thousands of customers return home, operated relief flights, and added additional capacity on key long‑haul routes.”
“We will continue to assess and introduce further flying where possible,” the carrier adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
