01 · THE DISPATCH

Low-cost carrier Wizz Air is requesting to continue the process of opening a base at Ben Gurion Airport, after its return to Israel, according to a first publication by Channel 12's N12 news on Sunday evening. The airline had previously announced it would resume flights to and from Israel starting Monday, June 29, following a period of cancellations. As The Zioneer reported on June 9, Wizz Air's return was seen as a significant step in restoring international air travel to Israel. The base-opening request signals a longer-term commitment to the Israeli market beyond resumed flight schedules.
