Ryanair Resumes Operations To/From Israel From Mon 3rd June

Ryanair flights to and from Israel have been on hiatus since February 2024 due to the closure of Ben Gurion International Airport’s Terminal 1. This terminal specifically caters to low-cost carriers. Ryanair, along with other budget airlines, found it financially unfeasible to operate from the costlier Terminal 3. The good news is, that Terminal 1 has now reopened, paving the way for Ryanair’s return! ryanair tel aviv israel

Following Ben Gurion International Airport’s decision to re-open low-cost Terminal 1, Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, announced that it will resume operations to/from Tel Aviv from Mon, 3^rd June.
