Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines cancel all Israel flights over virus rules

Airline giant Lufthansa says it is canceling all flights to Israel until March 28, after the Jewish state barred entry to almost all non-resident arrivals from five European nations including Germany.

Flights to Tel Aviv and Eilat by Lufthansa and subsidiaries Swiss and Austrian Airlines will be canceled from Sunday, March 8, until the end of the winter timetable on March 28, the group says in a statement, while some flights will be halted on Friday and Saturday “for operational reasons.”
