Final sign-off for ceasefire deal delayed after Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Hamas of ‘reneging’ on parts of agreement
Germany’s Lufthansa Group is set to resume flights to and from Tel Aviv in Israel rom Feb. 1 and Wizz Air restarted its London to Tel Aviv route on Thursday, the companies said following the ceasefire agreement, Reuters reports. Wizz Air also resumed flights to Amman, Jordan starting on Thursday from London Luton airport. Lufthansa Group carriers Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Austrian Airlines and Swiss were included in Lufthansa’s decision to resume flights to Tel Aviv.
Ryanair said it was hoping to run a full summer schedule to and from Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv in an interview with Reuters last week, before the ceasefire deal was announced. In the wake of the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Turkish Airlines said it would start flights to Damascus, the Syrian capital, on Jan. 23, with three flights per week. But airlines remain cautious and watchful before re-entering the region in full.
