British Airways is set to resume its flights between Tel Aviv and London Heathrow on October 25, following a suspension of operations in late February. The airline had postponed its return several times but is now expected to operate one daily flight on the route.
This resumption by the major British carrier follows a trend of foreign airlines returning to Israel after many had halted operations. Delta Air Lines restarted its flights between Tel Aviv and New York JFK in September with daily service, and United Airlines also resumed its route between Newark and Tel Aviv on September 8, operating two daily flights.
The return of international carriers is anticipated to continue. Air India plans to reintroduce its direct flights between Tel Aviv and Delhi starting December 1, with five weekly flights, after a previously scheduled return was delayed.
Despite these comebacks, American Airlines has not yet returned to flying to Israel since October 2023, and its flights to Tel Aviv are currently suspended until March 27, 2027. For travelers, British Airways' renewed service offers an additional direct flight option between Israel and London.
