Wizz Air Expands Flights from Israel with Five New Routes

Low-cost carrier Wizz Air is significantly increasing its flight operations from Israel, announcing the resumption of five routes and an increase in flight frequency on eleven additional destinations. The airline had previously delayed its return to Israel following the recent escalation with Iran, waiting until after the summer holidays to announce these changes.

The newly resumed routes include London Gatwick, Venice, Catania, Cluj, and Iași. Specific weekly frequencies for these routes are set at five flights to London Gatwick, four to Catania, three to Venice, and two each to Cluj and Iași.

In addition to restarting routes, Wizz Air is boosting the number of weekly flights on existing services. Key increases include Budapest, with frequencies rising from 14 to 21 flights per week; Rome, from 12 to 14; and Milan, from 7 to 14.

Further frequency enhancements are being made to routes including Bratislava (from 5 to 7 flights weekly), Naples (from 5 to 7), Bucharest (from 11 to 14), Sofia (from 6 to 7), Athens (from 5 to 7), Varna (from 2 to 3), Vilnius (from 2 to 4), and Warsaw (from 4 to 5).

These adjustments come as the overall flight schedule from Israel gradually returns to normal, following a period where many foreign airlines reduced or suspended their operations at Ben Gurion Airport. Flights on the renewed routes and with increased frequencies are now available for booking, with prices varying based on destination, date, and booking time.
