Swiss Air will resume flight operations on the route between Zurich and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on August 1, rhe German Lufthansa group of airlines announces.
Swiss will operate a daily flight on the Zurich–Tel Aviv route. The Swiss airline has halted flight operations since March due to the US-Israel war against Iran and heightened regional tensions.
The Lufthansa group — which includes Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Eurowings — gradually restarted flight services to and from Israel in June. In August, the group of airlines will operate 54 weekly flights to and from Israel, compared to 29 weekly flights in July.
