Ryanair wil resume flights to Tel Aviv on June 4, as other airlines begin to turn to the airport. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Wizz Air, and SAS Scandinavian Airlines have also announced plans to resume flights to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport due to improved security conditions in the region.
Wizz Air resumed services from multiple European destinations to Tel Aviv on May 15.
KLM is set to reinstate flights from Amsterdam Schiphol on May 31, ending an 11-month suspension, while SAS plans to connect Copenhagen Kastrup to Tel Aviv starting October 26 after a nine-year gap.
Despite these resumptions, many airlines, such as United Airlines, have prolonged their flight suspensions, with a group of 20 foreign airlines seeking regulatory changes regarding compensation for cancelled flights.
Flights to Beirut are also set to resume, with Wizz Air Abu Dhabi returning on June 4 and SAS restarting services from Copenhagen to Beirut on June 6.
Michael O’Leary told the full year 2025 earnings call: clearly, we want to see peace in both our Israel Tel Aviv schedules and to a lesser extent, the Jordan change are repeatedly being disrupted by the — that conflict. At the moment, we’ve canceled all the Israel the flights to Tel Aviv until early June. And I think we’re running out of patience too with Israel and the Tel Aviv flights to and from Tel Aviv and like if they’re going to keep being disrupted by the security disruptions, frankly, we’d be better off sending those aircraft somewhere else in Europe where at least we can sell the seats without these kind of repeated disruptions.
