Good news for travelers: the giant airline returns to Israel

British Airways is expected to resume flights to Israel on October 25, after a months-long pause. The company will operate a daily flight on the Tel Aviv-Heathrow route. The announcement joins the return of Delta and United in September, while Air India is expected to return in December. American Airlines remains out of Israel.

British Airways is expected to resume flights to Israel on October 25, after suspending operations at the end of February. The company has postponed the return date several times, and will now operate a daily flight on the Tel Aviv-Heathrow route. The first flight from London will depart on the evening of October 25, and the first flight from Tel Aviv will depart on the morning of October 26. The return is part of a broader trend: Delta Air Lines resumed flights to New York in September with a daily flight, and United Airlines resumed two daily flights from Newark on September 8. Air India plans to resume the Delhi route on December 1 with five weekly flights. However, American Airlines remains out of Israel — its flights are suspended until March 27, 2027. For passengers, the return of British Airways adds an option for a direct flight to Heathrow after months when the route was not active.
