After airlines canceled flights on Sunday following the Houthi missile attack near Ben-Gurion Airport, signs indicate a turnaround.
Some airlines have yet to cancel their scheduled slots and, barring further developments, are expected to resume their regular flights starting on Tuesday.
Wizz Air, for example, canceled all flights on Monday but is scheduled to resume services on Tuesday.
Airport officials told Maariv that “the flight board has been updated, and the airlines have not canceled the slots.”According to the revised schedule, Wizz Air plans to operate morning flights to Larnaca, Sofia, Budapest, and Krakow, with more scheduled throughout the day.
The Lufthansa Group has taken a more cautious approach, and it remains unclear when the airline will return. The group typically hesitates to resume services to Israel and is unlikely to do so “as long as the security situation remains unstable,” it said.
Unless it is fully confident in the safety of its aircraft and crews, it is doubtful that the global aviation group will quickly resume flights.
Ryanair has also not resumed services, and its upcoming slots remain canceled.
Delta Air Lines, however, has not canceled its Tuesday flights and is expected to resume routes to New York and Los Angeles.
Passengers are urged to remain in close contact with their airlines to confirm flight statuses and inquire about refunds or alternate arrangements in the event of cancellations.
