The Lufthansa group has extended its flight ban to Israel, halting operations to Tel Aviv International Airport until June 22. This decision comes in response to escalating violence in the Gaza Strip [2][4][5].
The flight suspension initially went into effect in early May, triggered by a ballistic missile attack near Ben-Gurion International Airport by Yemen’s Houthi rebels [1]. This extension of the ban includes not just Lufthansa but also the group's affiliates, such as Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings [4].
Passengers affected by these cancellations can rebook or cancel their flights without any additional charges. The company has made this arrangement to accommodate its customers during this challenging time [4]. As tensions continue to simmer in the region, other international airlines are reconsidering their operations to Israel, with some resuming flights while others maintaining suspensions [1]. So, keep a close eye on flight updates if you're planning to travel during this period.
