Lufthansa, Additional Airlines Postpones Flights to Israel
- United Airlines announced the restart of its service between Tel Aviv and New York beginning June 5, 2025, after pausing operations last month due to safety concerns near Ben Gurion Airport.
- The resumption came after a lawsuit was filed on May 30, 2025, by a conservative research organization alleging that United's suspension was influenced by improper factors, including ideological pressures.
- Several international airlines have since adjusted Israel routes, with some like KLM and airBaltic resuming flights, while others such as the Lufthansa Group and British Airways extended suspensions citing security risks.
- Stefan Padfield from the National Center explained that they filed the request due to worries that corporate leaders might be damaging United’s shareholder value.
- The ongoing flight suspensions and legal actions suggest sustained operational and political challenges affecting airlines’ decisions about service to Israel amid regional security concerns.
