Lufthansa's Flight Suspension to Tel Aviv Extension Announced - Only Until May 11
Lufthansa prolongs Tel Aviv layover until 18th of May
Hop on that jet, pilgrim! If you're planning a trip to Israel with Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, SWISS, Brussels Airlines, or Eurowings, you might want to reconsider your travel plans - but only until May 11. That's right, according to the latest scoop, Lufthansa Group has extended its suspension of flights to and from the vibrant city of Tel Aviv, Israel. But don't start packing your bags just yet, as this decision comes in light of the unfolding Middle East conflict.
The ban was initially put in place following a rocket attack by the Houthi militia from Yemen on May 4. The attack caused an explosion near Ben Gurion Airport, leaving eight people with injuries, according to military reports. The situation has escalated, prompting Israel to plan further military operations in the Gaza Strip.
So, if you were dreaming of savoring some hummus in Tel Aviv anytime soon, you'll have to hold off for a little longer. The Lufthansa Group's suspension will be in effect until at least May 11. However, avoid spreading rumors about a longer suspension since Lufthansa has not extended it until May 18, contrary to some misinformation circulating online[1][2][3].
Stay tuned for updates as this situation continues to unfold, and keep those suitcases packed, travelers! We'll let you know when it's safe to book that flight.
