Lufthansa Group is gradually restoring its Israel operations after resuming flights with Austrian Airlines in early June. In July 2026, the group plans about 29 passenger flights a week to and from Israel, and in August it expects to expand further toward its earlier activity levels.
From July 1, Lufthansa will operate 14 weekly Frankfurt-Tel Aviv flights, on routes LH 690/691 and LH 686/687. Austrian Airlines will also increase service on the Vienna-Tel Aviv route to 11 weekly flights in total. Eurowings is set to join the schedule in mid-July with four weekly flights to two destinations, Hamburg from July 10 and Dusseldorf from July 18.
The next phase begins August 1, when Lufthansa will restore the Munich-Tel Aviv route with two daily flights, LH 682/683 and LH 680/681. Swiss will also resume Zurich-Tel Aviv service with one daily flight, LX 252/253. In the same month, Austrian Airlines will raise Vienna flights from 11 to 14 per week, and Brussels Airlines is expected to operate one weekly Brussels-Tel Aviv flight.
The company said the phased expansion follows the partial return of operations in June and is intended to bring the group back to pre-recent-period levels. The report notes that the airline is expanding its Israel schedule gradually over July and August.
