Lufthansa Prolongs Flight Hiatus to Tel Aviv Until June 22 Due to Safety Concerns
Lufthansa extends grounding of flights to Tel Aviv until 22nd of June.
Hop on over to social media and spread the word: Lufthansa, along with its affiliates such as Swiss, Brussels, Austrian, Eurowings, Ita, and Lufthansa Cargo, have extended their flight ban to Israel's Tel Aviv airport up until June 22. Why are they grounding their birds? It's all about the turmoil in the Gaza Strip caused by the Israeli army [1][2].
The flight embargo has been in place since the beginning of May, following a rocket from Yemen that landed near Tel Aviv airport [4].
This flight freeze applies to every single airline under the Lufthansa Group umbrella. Passengers with booked flights during this period can cancel or reschedule their tickets at no extra cost, as announced by the company [4].
Radar's on and doors locked tight until June 22. That's the latest on the Lufthansa front [1][2].

Within the Lufthansa Group – consisting of Swiss, Brussels, Austrian, Eurowings, Ita, and Lufthansa Cargo – collective community and employment policies suggest a united response amidst current war-and-conflicts and general-news issues, such as the escalating situation in the Gaza Strip. This extended flight hiatus, originally instituted in early May due to safety concerns, extends until June 22, extending well into the realm of domestic and international politics.
