April 8: Most airlines return to Israel
March 2: Massive overhaul of the list. All entires have been double-checked for highest accuracy possible.
The tragic events of October 7 2023 and Israel’s subsequent war with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon left Israel’s air travel options quite limited for over a year as international airlines postponed, delayed and outright cancelled their routes to and from Israel due to the heightened tensions in the region.
Lately, more and more airlines have resumed flying to Israel as the aforementioned regional tensions have begun to lighten. In light of this fact, prospective travelers may want to know which airlines are currently offering flights to and from the Holy Land, as well as which intend to do so in the near future. We’ll also keep you updated with a complete list of those airlines cancelling flights to Israel.
