Tel Aviv, Israel (May 27, 2026) — Wizz Air is set to restart service to and from Israel, bringing a major low-cost option back to Ben Gurion Airport as travelers prepare for the busy summer season.

The carrier is making hundreds of thousands of seats available through its website and mobile app, with routes linking Israel to a broad list of European destinations. Planned service includes flights to London, Budapest, Bucharest, Bratislava, Larnaca, Warsaw, Krakow, Milan, Rome, Athens, and Sofia, giving Israeli passengers renewed access to popular vacation, business, and family travel markets.

The return comes after a period of uncertainty for international aviation in Israel, with some airlines adjusting or delaying schedules amid security reviews, fuel pressures, and operational challenges. Wizz Air says it is prepared to operate its full schedule during the peak travel period and is positioning the move as part of a wider effort to rebuild affordable connectivity between Israel and Europe.

The airline has also highlighted its fuel purchasing strategy as a factor in keeping fares more predictable. Wizz Air says it secured a significant portion of its fuel needs at a lower fixed rate than current market levels, helping reduce exposure to sharp price swings that can lead to higher ticket costs.

Reliability is another major focus of the carrier’s return. Wizz Air says it has maintained a flight completion rate of 99.53% since the start of 2026, a figure it is using to reassure passengers booking summer trips during a volatile period for regional air travel.

In addition to direct routes, Wizz Air passengers can access onward connections through the airline’s broader network, which includes more than 1,000 routes. The company is aiming to carry over 80 million passengers globally in 2026.

The renewed Tel Aviv schedule is expected to strengthen competition on European routes and expand lower-cost travel options for Israelis heading abroad in the coming months.
