1:04 p.m.: In view of the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, Lufthansa has once again adjusted its flight schedule. As the airline announced on Monday in Frankfurt am Main, the flight stop to Tel Aviv in Israel will be extended until November 10th. Flights there had previously been canceled until the end of October. The airline Eurowings, which belongs to the Lufthansa Group, will not fly to Tel Aviv until November 30th.
For the other airlines in the group, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss, the flight stop to Tel Aviv also applies until November 10th. Lufthansa will also not fly to the Iranian capital Tehran until October 31st, and flights to and from Beirut in Lebanon are suspended until November 30th.
The reason for the flight stops is the ongoing tense situation in the Middle East. The Israeli army attacks targets of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. Hezbollah fired numerous rockets and drones into northern Israel over the weekend.
