Lufthansa Airlines announced it will gradually resume flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport starting August 1, following a suspension triggered by a Houthi missile strike and regional security concerns. While the wider Lufthansa Group—encompassing Austrian, Brussels, and Eurowings—will operate, Swiss won’t return until October due to operational issues, and airlines including British Airways, easyJet, and Ryanair remain grounded until at least late October. The decision follows the EU’s Aviation Safety Agency lifting its “high‑risk” advisory, and comes as Israel ramps up airport expansion and tourism recovery efforts. Have any of you experienced sudden route suspensions or returns in your travels or work—how did it affect your plans on the ground?
