Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has officially announced it will not resume its direct flights to Israel as previously scheduled. The airline had planned to restart its route from Tel Aviv to Copenhagen on October 26, after having previously removed it from its flight schedule. However, just days before the planned relaunch, SAS reversed its decision.
In a statement, SAS cited an updated assessment of operational and commercial factors, concluding that current conditions are not suitable for launching the planned route. The company emphasized that Tel Aviv remains an important destination and that it will continue to monitor developments for a potential future launch.
This decision follows a trend of foreign airlines canceling or postponing their return to Israel due to ongoing security developments. EasyJet had previously announced a delay in resuming flights, and Ryanair confirmed it would not launch its winter flight schedule to Tel Aviv.
