The Lufthansa Group announced it is gradually increasing flights to and from Israel in July and August, operating dozens of weekly flights after Austrian Airlines resumed service in early June.
The Lufthansa Group is returning to Israel at scale, announcing a phased expansion of flights to and from the country for July and August. The carrier will operate dozens of weekly flights, building on the resumption by Austrian Airlines (part of the Lufthansa Group) earlier this month.
The move follows months of reduced service amid regional security tensions since late 2023, when multiple international carriers suspended or curtailed flights to Israel. As The Zioneer reported, Wizz Air announced its own return to Israel operations starting June 10, and other carriers like TAP Air Portugal have extended suspensions — pointing to a mixed but gradually improving picture for Israeli air connectivity.
The Lufthansa Group's expanded schedule is one of the most significant restorations of capacity announced by a European airline group to date.
