Lufthansa Group to Gradually Resume Flights to Tel Aviv, Israel from June

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany's Lufthansa Group has announced the gradual resumption of flights to Tel Aviv, Israel, starting from June 1, 2026. Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo will be the first to resume services, after both companies suspended their respective routes due to the war in Iran.

According to the announcement released by Lufthansa, this decision was made following a comprehensive security assessment. Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo will be the first to resume flights to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on June 1; Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines are expected to follow at the earliest on July 1, while Brussels Airlines has suspended its Tel Aviv route until October 24 (inclusive).

Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines' flights to Dubai will remain suspended until September 13 (inclusive) due to operational reasons. Lufthansa had originally planned to resume its Dubai route on June 1, having already postponed the restart date twice before.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has recently lowered its risk advisory for the region, though its assessment for Iran remains in place. Lufthansa believes the earliest opportunity to resume the Frankfurt to Tehran route will be at the switch to the 2026/2027 winter flight schedule (October 25).

Prior to Lufthansa's route resumption, Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air plans to restart flights to Tel Aviv on May 28.
