תמונה: chatgpt
There is concern that airlines from around the world will not resume operations in Israel even this coming summer.
Despite the ceasefire, the return of the airlines is progressing very slowly, and many of them are still unwilling to commit.
One of the main reasons is safety warnings from the European Aviation Authority, which recommends avoiding flights to the region.

Although it is a recommendation and not a prohibition, most airlines choose to follow it. They repeatedly postpone their return to Israel.
In addition, there is security uncertainty. The airlines fear that the situation may deteriorate again, leading to flight cancellations and losses. Therefore, some prefer to wait and see if the situation remains stable over time before returning to full operations.
The result is uncertainty ahead of the summer. If the airlines do not return, there will be fewer flights available, and prices may increase. In such a situation, the summer season, which is usually busy with flights, will be more limited and costly for Israelis.
