The Lufthansa group of carriers continues to extend the suspension of flight services to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport until June.
The Lufthansa group – whose carriers also include SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings – says that “due to the current situation” in Israel it has decided to further extend flight suspensions to and from Tel Aviv through June 8, from the previously announced date of May 25.
On May 4, the group of carriers joined a list of foreign airlines canceling flight services to Israel, after a ballistic missile from Yemen struck an area of Israel’s main international airport.
