Based on an analysis of presently available information, the Lufthansa Group will also suspend all flights of its airlines from and to Ben Gurion International Airport on Thursday, July 24, 2014. This applies to all flights of Lufthansa, Germanwings, Austrian Airlines, Swiss and Brussels Airlines. At the present time no adequate authoritative new information is available that would justify a resumption of flights. In close coordination with the responsible authorities Lufthansa is continually evaluating the safety situation for its total flight network.

We regret the discomfort this decision causes our customers whose safety is our highest priority. Passengers who were booked on one of the cancelled flights can rebook at no cost or have the ticket price reimbursed. It goes without saying our staff at the airport and in the service centers will do all possible to further assist our passengers.

During the summer timetable period the airlines of the Lufthansa Group would fly 20 scheduled flights from Frankfurt, Cologne, Munich, Zurich, Vienna and Brussels to Tel Aviv tomorrow. These flights will be cancelled today.
