International air travel to and from Israel is rebounding, with a growing number of foreign carriers resuming operations at Ben Gurion Airport and restoring competition on key routes for Israeli travelers.
In recent days, the return of overseas airlines has accelerated, as multiple international carriers officially restarted flights connecting Israel with destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Gulf region.
The first foreign airline to resume service was Blue Bird Airways, which relaunched its Tel Aviv–Athens route on April 12.
Two days later, on April 14, additional carriers followed. TUS Airways resumed flights to Larnaca in Cyprus, while Uzbekistan Airways began operating a weekly route to Israel.
On April 15, Etihad Airways reinstated service, now running multiple daily flights between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi.
The following day, April 16, Flydubai returned to the Israeli market. Known for being among the first to resume operations after disruptions, the airline is currently offering two daily flights to Dubai.
Alongside these carriers, several others have also resumed activity in Israel, including Sky Express, Ethiopian Airlines, Red Wings Airlines, Hainan Airlines, HiSky, and Belavia.
The renewed presence of these airlines signals a broader reopening of Israel’s skies, significantly expanding travel options and restoring competitive pricing on some of the most in-demand international routes.
