Greece’s Aegean Airlines is bringing forward the resumption of flight services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, starting July 14.
On Monday, Aegean will restart services to and from Israel with flights to Athens, Crete, and Larnaca. More destinations, including to Mykonos and Thessaloniki, will be added later.
The decision follows meetings held by Transportation Minister Regev with her Greek counterpart Christos Dimas, and Aegean’s chairman Eftichios Vassilakis, during her professional visit to Cyprus and Greece.
Aegean – and all other airlines – halted flight services to and from Tel Aviv through September 8 after Israel’s airspace was closed on June 13 with the outbreak of the war with Iran. The fighting ended 12 days later with a US-brokered ceasefire. The flight suspensions left tens of thousands of Israelis stranded abroad.
