British Airways resuming Israel service

British airline giant Airways has announced that it will resume flights to Israel from April 5, 2025. The airline’s return to Israel will be gradual. It will initially operate one daily flight on the Tel Aviv-London route, increasing the number of flights to two daily from April 20.

British Airways suspended its flights to Israel after the escalation of the Iron Sword War last August, and since then it has continuously extended the suspension period.

From April to August last year, British Airways maintained its services to Israel, with a stop in Larnaca. The airline has not yet said whether the resumption of flights will be in this form, or whether it will return to direct flights as was normal in the past.

British Airways thus joins the Lufthansa Group, which announced the resumption of Israeli flights as of February 1. Industry sources are optimistic about the prospects for more airlines to follow suit. Air France and Air India are scheduled to resume service within the next two weeks, while Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic are scheduled to do so on March 31. In the past, the Lufthansa Group’s decisions were very influential with other airlines, especially European airlines. .
