FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Ryanair resumed operations to Israel on Sunday, with a flight from Baden-Baden, Germany, landing at Ben Gurion International Airport.

This marks the return of Europe’s largest budget airline to the country after intermittent suspensions since October 7, 2023, during a multi-front conflict.

The Dublin-based airline is reinstating routes from 22 cities across 12 European nations, following announcements in January citing the Gaza ceasefire and the repeal of a passenger compensation law by the Israeli parliament.

Other airlines, including United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and British Airways, are also resuming Israeli flights, signaling a gradual recovery in international travel to the region.
