AUA resumes flights to Tel Aviv from August

The resumption of AUA flights to Tel Aviv is happening "after a thorough security assessment," according to Austrian Airlines in a statement. However, AUA flight connections to the Iranian capital Tehran will remain suspended at least until September 30th inclusive.

AUA flights to Tel Aviv suspended since early May

The entire Lufthansa Group intended to resume its flights to Tel Aviv from August 1st, according to earlier information. A company spokesperson had indicated this at the beginning of the month and added that the security situation surrounding the military conflicts in the Middle East region would continue to be closely monitored. The Lufthansa Group had suspended its flights to Israel in early May after a rocket from the Islamist Houthi rebels from Yemen struck near Ben Gurion Airport. Other destinations in the Near and Middle East were also at least temporarily suspended following the escalation of the Gaza war and Israeli attacks on Iran. Other airlines acted similarly.
