The flight schedule now once again includes 54 weekly flights:

• Lufthansa offers two daily flights between Frankfurt and Tel Aviv, and between Munich and Tel Aviv (starting in August).

• Austrian Airlines currently operates 14 flights per week between Vienna and Tel Aviv.

• Eurowings currently offers four weekly flights from Hamburg (1) and Düsseldorf (3) to Tel Aviv.

• SWISS resumed its service between Zurich and Tel Aviv on 1 August and offers now one daily flight with an Airbus A330.
