British budget airline easyJet announced Wednesday that it will restart flights to and from Tel Aviv�s Ben Gurion Airport beginning March 29, 2026, marking the carrier�s first return to Israel since suspending service amid regional instability.
In a statement emailed to reporters, an airline spokesperson said easyJet will initially relaunch routes connecting London Luton, Amsterdam, and Milan Malpensa with Tel Aviv. The company also revealed a broader plan to expand operations, noting that flights from additional European cities are expected to resume in the winter 2026 season, beginning in late October.
�We continually review all of our routes and remain committed to resuming more flying to and from Tel Aviv,� the spokesperson said.
The announcement comes months after easyJet unexpectedly prolonged its suspension of all Tel Aviv routes, extending the freeze through March 28, 2026. The airline had originally projected a return in October 2025 but cited ongoing security assessments for the delay.
The March reopening signals a cautious but significant step in restoring European air links to Israel�s main international gateway.
