After suspending flights to Israel for several months, Irish budget airline Ryanair is resuming its operations in the country. The first Ryanair flight departed Sunday from Baden-Baden, Germany, and was scheduled to land at Ben Gurion Airport shortly after 11:00 a.m.
The Irish carrier plans to operate direct flights to and from Israel to various European destinations, including Berlin, Budapest, Bucharest, Baden-Baden, Athens, and additional locations.
Ryanair isn't the only budget airline now operating from Ben Gurion Airport. Wizz Air returned to Israel several months ago and is also running direct flights to multiple destinations, with plans to expand its operations in the current period.
EasyJet is expected to resume its Israel routes at the beginning of June, barring any changes. Once this occurs, all major budget airlines that operate flights to and from a relatively wide range of destinations in Israel will have returned to service.
