Wizz Air to resume flights to Israel on May 28

JERUSALEM, May 13 (Reuters) - ​Wizz ⁠Air will resume flights ​to and from Tel Aviv ​on May ‌28, saying it was ⁠an important step in reconnecting ⁠Israel with ​key European destinations.

Wizz and most foreign carriers had halted flights after ​U.S. and ‌Israel-led airstrikes on Iran. With a fragile ceasefire in place, some airlines have ​resumed flights to Israel.

Wizz said ‌its decision follows the latest update from EASA and ‌reflects Wizz Air's "ongoing coordination with international and local authorities, including aviation ​and security bodies, alongside its overriding commitment ‌to ensuring safe operations."

Chief commercial officer Ian Malin said that ⁠the ⁠safety and security of passengers ‌and crew remain a top priority, "and ​we have ​taken a cautious ‌and measured approach to this decision." (Reporting by Steven Scheer; Editing by Toby Chopra)
