German carrier Condor is resuming flights to Israel in May.

The airline will offer five weekly flights starting on May 11 between Frankfurt and Tel Aviv, a popular business route that is currently serviced by Lufthansa, which dominates the route, and El Al.

The resumption of flights following a decades-long absence in Tel Aviv is a milestone for the German carrier in its 70th anniversary year, as its very first flight on March 29, 1956, was a pilgrimage flight from Frankfurt to Tel Aviv.

The airline, which was once a subsidiary of Lufthansa and is owned by a British investment firm, now competes against the German flag carrier.

Its decision to return to Tel Aviv, announced on Feb. 3, also underscores the resurgence of Israel’s aviation sector and the reemergence of the country as a regional travel hub following the war against Hamas.
