TEL AVIV-<\/strong> After a five-month suspension, Air Canada (AC)<\/a> will resume its daily Tel Aviv\u2013Toronto flights on Thursday (October 9, 2025), signaling renewed confidence in the Israeli market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relaunch also coincides with an enhanced in-flight experience, making Air Canada the only traditional North American airline to offer free beer and wine in economy class on all routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada Returns to Tel Aviv<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada\u2019s daily service between Toronto and Tel Aviv will reconnect one of the airline\u2019s most important long-haul markets, catering to both business and leisure travelers. The route\u2019s reinstatement reflects improving regional stability and a measured rise in passenger demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline has been closely monitoring conditions since suspending operations last spring. With robust security coordination now in place, the return flight underscores the carrier\u2019s long-term commitment to Israel\u2019s aviation market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian flag carrier\u2019s return marks a significant step in the gradual recovery of international air connectivity to Israel following last year\u2019s conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upgrade forms part of the carrier\u2019s ongoing service revamp, which also includes complimentary Canadian snacks \u2014 an effort to strengthen its brand amid criticism over baggage and ancillary fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European Carriers Resume Routes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada\u2019s move comes as several European airlines also plan to restart flights to Israel. British Airways (BA) and Iberia Express (I2) will both resume daily services to Tel Aviv beginning October 26, linking Israel to London (LHR) and Madrid (MAD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scandinavian Airlines (SK) will re-enter the market with three weekly Copenhagen (CPH)\u2013Tel Aviv flights \u2014 its first return in over nine years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a further boost, Greece\u2019s Sky Express (GQ) will launch daily direct flights from Athens (ATH) to Tel Aviv on December 2. These resumptions mark the most significant recovery in Israel\u2019s international air links since October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Airlines Remain Cautious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some carriers are returning, others remain hesitant. ITA Airways (AZ) and Air India (AI) have extended their Tel Aviv flight suspensions until at least December 31. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryanair (FR)<\/a> confirmed in September that it would not renew service to Israel, while easyJet (U2) has postponed its restart until March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish Airlines (TK) has yet to set a definitive return date, despite renewed speculation tied to cease-fire negotiations and Ankara\u2019s mediation efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry observers note that further restarts will depend on political and security developments in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Air Canada\u2019s flagship route back in operation, and more carriers following suit, Israel\u2019s aviation sector is steadily regaining momentum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of returning airlines, competitive fares, and a stronger local currency suggests that international travel demand is on a firm recovery path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
