Jerusalem, 11 February, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Lufthansa Group is resuming night flights to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, with some routes making a short stop in Athens for crew changes. Since January 15, the group — including Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings — had limited flights to daytime operations amid tensions with Iran.

Lufthansa Group said it will operate 65 weekly flights overall.
