The Lufthansa Group has announced the continued suspension of flights to Tel Aviv, Israel, by its low-fare carrier, Eurowings, until 30 November, amid ongoing safety concerns over the current Middle East conflict.
Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines, also part of the Lufthansa Group, have extended their flight suspensions to Tel Aviv until 25 November 2024.
“The safety and security of our passengers and crew remain our top priority,” stated a Lufthansa Group spokesperson. “The ongoing conflict in the region necessitates this continued suspension to ensure we are not putting anyone at unnecessary risk.”
Passengers with existing bookings on affected flights are being offered flexible rebooking options. They can reschedule their travel to a later date free of charge or opt for a full refund of their ticket price.
