Air Canada resumed flights to Israel yesterday, becoming the latest carrier to restore services to Tel Aviv following the country’s 12-day war with Iran in June.
The Canadian national carrier is scheduling daily flights to Israel from Toronto, although services from Montreal will only resume in the spring.
International carriers planning to restore services to Israel this month include British Airways, Iberia, German low-cost carrier Eurowings and Scandinavian Airlines.
Europe’s biggest low-cost carrier, Ryanair, has been pushed back its return to Israel indefinitely due to a dispute with the Israel Airports Authority over regaining its previous flight slots.
The move also comes as Ryanair rival Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air is set to open a hub in Israel next year, which is expected to shake up the aviation market and dramatically bring down airfares.
