Flights to Tel Aviv Still Halted until Mid-May: Lufthansa Group update
Lufthansa prolongs Tel Aviv layover until 18th of May
Hop on those planes later this month! Lufthansa Group has extended its hold on flights to and from Tel Aviv until Sunday, May 18, as conflict in the Middle East continues to intensify. This includes all airlines under the Lufthansa umbrella, such as Swiss, Brussels, Austrian, Eurowings, Ita, and Lufthansa Cargo.
The original suspension was put in place after a missile attack by the Houthi militia from Yemen on May 4, which led to an explosion near Ben Gurion Airport, leaving eight individuals injured according to military reports. Israel, in response, is preparing for further military operations in the Gaza Strip.
