European Airlines Resume Flights to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport

Several European airlines are restoring and expanding their flight operations to Ben Gurion Airport in Israel after months of reductions and cancellations. Lufthansa is resuming its Frankfurt-Tel Aviv route with 14 weekly flights and plans to restart its Munich service soon. Italian carrier ITA Airways will also return, offering two daily flights between Rome and Tel Aviv, reinstating one of the most popular routes between the countries. Additionally, AirBaltic is set to renew flights from Riga to Tel Aviv, improving access to Latvia and other Baltic and Northern European destinations. In July, Eurowings will join the return wave, launching four weekly flights to Hamburg starting July 10 and Düsseldorf from July 18. This resurgence of European carriers complements a broader trend of international airlines gradually increasing their presence in Israel, enhancing flight options for travelers ahead of the summer season. Concurrently, Ben Gurion Airport is preparing for a peak in flight volume, reopening Terminal 1 to accommodate the increased traffic, including the departure of American aircraft and the return of foreign airlines.
