The Lufthansa group of carriers extends the suspension of flight services to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport by another week.

The Lufthansa group – whose carriers also include SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings – says that following a situation assessment, it has decided to extend flight suspensions to and from Tel Aviv through May 25, from the previously announced date of May 18.

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.

Hungary-based low-cost airline Wizz Air resumed flight services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport today.
