British Airways to Resume Flights to Israel This Month

The daily service will feature an evening departure from London Heathrow on October 25, with the return flight from Ben Gurion Airport scheduled for the following morning. According to NEWSru Israel, round-trip ticket prices for late October start at $513 without luggage and $601 with luggage. The airline had suspended its operations in late February and postponed its return multiple times. Calcalist noted that the carrier had also suspended flights during Operation Protective Edge.

This move follows the resumption of flights by Delta Air Lines and United Airlines in September. Additionally, Air India plans to restart five weekly flights to Delhi on December 1, while American Airlines flights remain suspended until March 27, 2027. Tamar Garzon, CEO of Gulliver Tourism Company, stated that London serves as a crucial hub and the return of British Airways will boost Israel's air connectivity, offering travelers more flexibility and potentially lowering prices through increased competition.
