The skies reopen: which airlines are returning? And where can we fly to?

Celebration at Ben Gurion Airport: Despite months of being outside the world's destination map, the trend of returning to Israel continues. Today (Thursday), four more airlines are returning to us and landing in the country, and during this month, a total of eight airlines will return to Israel.

Among the airlines returning today: Transavia (Paris), Smart Wings (Prague), BlueBird (Athens), and Ryanair (Vienna, Bergamo, Memmingen, Baden-Baden, Marseille). However, it should be noted that these are just a small number of the destinations Ryanair operated flights to from Israel, as those flights will resume operation starting from April.

As mentioned, more airlines will resume operation from Israel later this month, including: Air Seychelles (Mahe), Air Europa (Madrid), Azerbaijan Airlines (Baku), and Georgian Airways (Tbilisi).

Which airlines are currently operating in Israel?

El Al, Arkia, Israir, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Air France, TUI Airways, Aegean Airlines, Etihad Airways, Flydubai, Uzbekistan Airways, Hainan Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Wizz Air, and Air Canada are some of the airlines that operate at Ben Gurion Airport.

Today, approximately 26,900 passengers will pass through Ben Gurion Airport in 159 international flights, which is the highest number since the beginning of the war. In total, around 14,100 passengers departed on international flights today, and approximately 12,800 passengers arrived in Israel.
