Airlines

Several airlines canceled flights to Israel in recent weeks following a Houthi missile strike on Ben-Gurion Airport in April.

The low-cost airline is the first in the world to be equipped with an Airbus A321XLR aircraft, which will offer long-haul intercontinental flights of up to 8 hours.

Now, the options to soar are limited, and while flying abroad can have a euphoric effect, keep in mind it will cost you to achieve this inner peace.

United and Delta are among the few airlines that are resuming flights to Israel in recent weeks.

Air Haifa signed a deal to buy another ATR 72-600, after a fourth joins this summer. The expansion will boost flight frequencies and add new destinations from Haifa Airport.

The Lufthansa Group said the suspension will remain in place at least through May 25. Since the suspension began, no group flights have landed in or taken off from Israel.

Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 departed from Amsterdam for Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014, and was shot down over eastern Ukraine.

Airlines have also been reacting to developments in the Middle East, with European and US carriers canceling flights for several days after a missile fired by Yemen's Houthis landed near Ben Gurion.

Airport officials said that “the flight board has been updated, and the airlines have not canceled the slots.” 

Independently operated Virgin Atlantic flights were originally scheduled to return to Israel in October 2025.
