The return of British Airways is seen as a significant boost to Israel's air connectivity, according to Tamar Garzon, CEO of Gulliver Tourism Company. She stated that London serves as a crucial hub for numerous destinations in Europe, North America, and the Far East, and the resumption of service will offer Israeli travelers more options and flexibility in planning their journeys. Garzon also noted that increased competition from returning international airlines could lead to more attractive prices for consumers and signals a positive recovery for Israel's tourism sector.
British Airways' decision follows the recent return of Delta and United Airlines to Israel last month, and Air India's announcement of resuming flights in December. The airline's reappearance is occurring at a time when many foreign carriers have expressed hesitation about returning to Israel.
