Air India and other major international carriers, which have been announcing plans to resume flights in Israel, expanding connectivity to this war-torn zone, have announced that they will resume flights due to the ceasefire in the north of Israel. “It’s official.” “We will resume flights on March 2, 2025,” said a representative of Air India in Israel to PTI.
Bookings for the route were opened on the website of the Indian carrier. Most major international airlines have canceled their flights to Israel due to the wars in the north against Hezbollah, and in the South against Hamas. This has been going on since October 23, 2023, when the Palestinian Islamic group launched a brutal attack against the Jewish State.
Air France announced this week that it will resume daily flight service between Paris and Tel Aviv starting on Saturday of this week. The carrier plans to increase the frequency of its daily flights in the coming months. Transavia France will also be returning to the Israel route, a low cost subsidiary of the Air France/KLM Group.
Lufthansa Group airlines, including Lufthansa Swiss, Austrian Airlines Brussels Airlines and Eurowings announced on Thursday they will resume flights to Tel Aviv and back beginning February 1. British Airways will return to Israel on April 5, resuming one daily flight between Tel Aviv, Israel and London.
Ryanair, Ireland’s low-cost carrier, announced plans to operate flights to Ben Gurion Airport in Israel for the summer of 2024 after suspending them since February 2024. Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire agreement on November 27, which has held up so far despite some hiccups.
The ceasefire between Hamas in Gaza and Israel took effect on Sunday, leading to the exchange of Israeli prisoners for Palestinian prisoners. This brought some calm to the region after over 15 months of fighting.
