Adjusted Lufthansa Group flight offer to and from the Middle East

Due to the current situation, Lufthansa Group is suspending its flights to the Middle East as follows:

• Tel Aviv (TLV): up to and including 31 July 2025
• Tehran (THR): up to and including 14 August 2025

Eurowings also decided for operational reasons, to suspend its flights to and from Tel Aviv until the end of the summer flight schedule on 25 October 2025.

Lufthansa has decided to suspend flights to and from Tehran through 31 August 2025 due to operational reasons.

SWISS will resume flights to Tel Aviv on 29 September 2025. A daily flight operated with an Airbus A330 is planned under flight number LX252. In mid-June, SWISS had decided to suspend the route until the end of the summer schedule in late October to ensure operational stability and planning reliability. A renewed assessment of the situation has shown that an earlier resumption is possible. Flights to Beirut will resume as planned from 3 August 2025.

Amman, Beirut and Erbil are already being served again by Lufthansa Group airlines, and the airspace of Lebanon and Jordan has been completely reopened. An eastern corridor is being used for overflights in Iraqi airspace.

Important notes regarding short-term flight cancellations

In case of short-term flight cancellations within 48 hours (in select cases: up to 5 days) before departure, no (immediate) UN will be set in the PNR in all cases. In this case, you can do the rebooking/reissue without having to request a waiver.
