Dutch airline KLM announced it will resume flights between Amsterdam and Tel Aviv starting August 25, with an initial stopover in Larnaca, Cyprus, as part of its safety preparations. The move follows earlier reports of the carrier's planned return.
KLM officially confirmed Friday evening that it will resume service to Israel on August 25, after earlier reports by aviation journalist Dean Fisher (N12). The Dutch carrier will initially operate flights with a stopover in Larnaca, Cyprus, before transitioning to direct service. The announcement follows months of suspended operations due to regional security concerns. KLM had previously canceled flights through late July. The carrier joins a growing list of international airlines restoring service to Israel, including Air France, Lufthansa Group, Wizz Air, and Condor, as the country's aviation sector continues its recovery.
