Lufthansa has announced significant changes affecting some flights to and from Israel, according to Kan News. Due to updated company regulations, certain flights will now make technical stops in Larnaca or Athens. Passengers whose itineraries are impacted will be directly notified by the airline. The primary change involves Lufthansa crews refusing to stay overnight in Tel Aviv until December. The specific reasons for this refusal were not disclosed by the company. This situation arises following new regulations mandating airlines to provide crew information for flights to Israel 48 hours prior to departure. These instructions, aimed at enhancing aviation security, require airlines to resubmit crew details, including any changes, during check-in but no later than two hours before departure. A final, complete crew list must be submitted at the time of actual takeoff.
