Lufthansa Group to Resume Tel Aviv Flights Amid Regional Tensions
Lufthansa Group carriers are set to gradually resume flights to Tel Aviv, which had been suspended since the outbreak of the Iran conflict in late February. Austrian Airlines will restart its services to Israel from the beginning of June, followed by Lufthansa Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines in early July. Eurowings, the leisure unit of Lufthansa, plans to resume its flights by mid-July. Meanwhile, Brussels Airlines has extended its suspension of Tel Aviv flights until October 24. The decision to resume these routes comes after a comprehensive safety and security assessment by Lufthansa. Additionally, low-cost carrier Wizz Air has announced plans to resume its Tel Aviv flights from May 28. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued an updated advisory for airspace in the Middle East, recommending caution for flights in the region.
