easyJet is returning to the Israeli market

British low-cost airline easyJet has announced that it will resume flights to Israel in March 2026. The decision, which has been delayed several times due to instability in the region, signals a cautious return to the market.

Tickets for the Tel Aviv-London (Luton) route from March 29, 2026 are already available on easyJet's website.

The decision is a remarkable turnaround, as the airline has suspended flights since the outbreak of war in October 2023 and has repeatedly pushed back the return date. The flights were originally planned for the summer of 2025, but Houthi attacks on Ben-Gurion Airport, and later the conflict with Iran, pushed the date to winter 2026.

The airline is also considering expanding routes from Ben-Gurion and possibly adding more routes than it had before the war. Before the suspension, easyJet operated flights from Tel Aviv to London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Basel, Geneva and Milan.

easyJet's return is not just a technical solution Eba, but a cautious attempt to study the market and find out to what extent Israel is becoming predictable again for international carriers.

It seems that the airline's management has long weighed the risks: safety, passenger demand and the cost of insurance. Despite everything, the company has come to the conclusion that a return in March will be justified. The expected expansion of the routes indicates a more confident long-term perspective.

The return of competition to the market may revive the prices a little and bring back the usual dynamics of travel. Experts hope that this step of one bold company will be a signal for other airlines to revive the market.
