- The airline suspended its Tel Aviv operations in late February.

British Airways is set to resume flights between Tel Aviv and London starting October 25, following a prolonged suspension of service. The inaugural flight from London is scheduled for the evening of October 25, with the return flight from Tel Aviv departing the following morning.
British Airways, considered a major carrier that had not yet returned to Israel, ceased its Tel Aviv operations in late February. The decision to restart the route has been postponed multiple times since then.
The return of British Airways aligns with a broader trend of international airlines resuming or expanding their services to Israel. In September, two major American airlines re-established their routes. Delta Air Lines recommenced daily flights between Tel Aviv and New York's JFK Airport at the beginning of the month, while United Airlines restarted its service on September 8, with two daily flights between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Tel Aviv.
Further expansion of air travel is anticipated. Air India plans to relaunch direct flights between Tel Aviv and Delhi on December 1, after a previous restart date was postponed. The airline expects to operate five weekly flights on this route.
Notably absent from the returning carriers is American Airlines, which has not operated flights to Israel since October 2023. Its flights to Israel remain suspended until March 27, 2027.
