Lufthansa Group Takes the Leap: Resumes Flights to Tel Aviv in 2024
Lufthansa Group continues to closely monitor the security situation in Israel and maintains close contact with local and international authorities, according to a Friday announcement. The company reiterates that adjustments to flight plans can be made due to shifting circumstances.
Back in October, Israel officially declared war on Hamas, causing several airlines to cancel flights to and from Tel Aviv, Israel's premier international airport.
On Friday, Lufthansa announced that they would unveil their January flight schedule on December 18th.

Lufthansa Group's decision to resume flights to Tel Aviv is a significant boost to the Israeli business community. The resumption of flights allows more companies to form or strengthen relationships with the European market.
In the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas conflict, which prompted several airlines to cancel their services to Tel Aviv, Lufthansa has taken this positive step.
