German carrier Lufthansa and Italy’s ITA Airways resume flight operations to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, having suspended them due to the US-Israel war against Iran and heightened regional tensions.
Germany’s Lufthansa group of carriers — which includes Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings — restarted flight services to and from Israel in a phased manner from June. Austrian Airlines resumed flights to and from Tel Aviv on June 2. Eurowings is expected to return to Tel Aviv by mid-July and SWISS plans to begin operating a daily flight on the Zurich–Tel Aviv route from August 1.
Spanish carrier Air Europe renewed flights between Madrid and Tel Aviv on June 29.
Meanwhile, other major foreign airlines, including Air France, have continued to cancel flight services to and from Israel through July 2, and British Airways has canceled services up to October. US carriers, including Delta, have pushed back their return to September.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
