British low-cost carrier easyJet announces that it will resume flights to Israel from June 1, having suspended all of its routes to Tel Aviv following Iran’s first direct attack on Israel in April.
In a statement cited by Hebrew media, easyJet says the airline will operate 38 weekly flights to and from Israel on the London, Geneva, Amsterdam, Milan, Berlin, Basel and Nice routes.
The announcement comes after Hungary-based low-cost airline Wizz Air restarted its London to Tel Aviv route this week, while Germany’s Lufthansa Group said its airlines would resume flights from Israel on February 1, amid cautious optimism around a nascent hostage-ceasefire deal between Israel and the Hamas terror group in Gaza.
