Hungary-based low-cost airline Wizz Air is expected to bring forward the resumption of flight services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on August 8.

The decision follows discussions held by Transportation Minister Miri Regev with the CEO of Wizz.

The low-cost carrier will initially launch flights from Tel Aviv to Larnaca and Budapest and will begin selling tickets on Wednesday. More destinations will be added later.

Wizz Air – and all other airlines – halted flight services to and from Tel Aviv through September 15 after Israel’s airspace was closed on June 13 with the outbreak of the war with Iran. The fighting ended 12 days later with a US-brokered ceasefire. The flight suspensions left tens of thousands of Israelis stranded abroad.
