Spanish airline Iberia, part of the IAG group, is set to resume flights to Israel by the end of October, following a suspension of services due to security concerns. This return comes after a hiatus of over two years. British Airways, also part of IAG, has already announced its return.
Iberia Express will operate daily flights between Madrid and Tel Aviv, with the initial flights from Madrid to Tel Aviv making a technical stop and crew change in Athens. Flights from Tel Aviv to Madrid will be direct at this stage. The airline last flew to Israel in early August 2024, having previously suspended operations in October 2023 following the outbreak of the war. It had resumed regular flights in April 2024 but ceased them again in August due to regional security escalations.
The resumption of Iberia's flights aligns with a broader trend of international airlines returning to Israel.
