British Airways is expected to resume flights between London and Tel Aviv on October 25, restoring its daily service after months of suspension and repeated delays.

The first flight from London’s Heathrow Airport to Ben Gurion Airport is scheduled to depart on the evening of October 25. The first return flight from Israel to London is expected to take off the following morning, October 26.

British Airqays suspended its Israel service at the end of February and has postponed its return several times. It remains one of the major international airlines that has yet to resume operations at Ben Gurion Airport.

Its planned return follows the restoration of flights by two major American carriers last month.

Delta Air Lines resumed daily service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Tel Aviv in early September. United Airlines returned on September 8, operating two daily flights between Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and Ben Gurion Airport.

Additional service is expected later this year, with Air India planning to restart direct flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv on December 1. The airline, which previously delayed its return, is expected to operate five flights per week.

American Airlines, meanwhile, has not resumed flights to Israel since suspending operations in October 2023. Its Israel service remains suspended through March 27, 2027.
