BERLIN (AFP): German airline group Lufthansa said on Monday it was extending the suspension of flights to Tel Aviv up to and including December 15, due to Israel’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
The extension applied to all airlines within the group, which includes SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Eurowings.
In addition, flights to Tel Aviv from Frankfurt and Munich with flagship airline Lufthansa will also now be suspended to the end of the year, the group said.
Previously, all of the group’s flights had been suspended up to and including November 25.
The Lufthansa group has repeatedly modified its flight schedule in recent months due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, as have other carriers.
Its flights to the Iranian capital have also already been suspended until the end of January next year, while services to Lebanese capital Beirut have been suspended until the end of February.
