Lufthansa extends Israel flight ban by 24 hours
German flag carrier Lufthansa says it will continue to suspend flights to Tel Aviv for another 24 hours over security concerns amid the raging conflict in the Gaza Strip.
“We will resume flights as soon as the protection of the airport is assured in a tangible manner,” it says in a statement.
Earlier today, US airlines lifted their bans on flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, which were imposed two days ago after a rocket fell near the airport, with the European air safety agency following suit by lifting its own warning.
