(May 15, 2025 / JNS)
The Lufthansa group, which includes SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Eurowings, announced on Thursday that following a situation assessment it had decided to extend flight suspensions to and from Tel Aviv through May 25, from the previously announced date of May 18.
The major European carriers had halted services to Israel on May 4 after a ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels impacted near Israel’s main international airport.
The decision to push back flights by another week came as Hungary-based low-cost airline Wizz Air resumed flight services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday. Madrid-based Air Europa took the lead in restarting service earlier this week.
