JNS
The U.K. flag carrier will restart service ahead of Passover.
British Airways said Monday that that it will resume service to Israel this spring.
The move comes as an increasing number of foreign airlines are renewing flights to Ben-Gurion International Airport as regional tensions de-escalate.
BA will operate a daily flight to Tel Aviv from London’s Heathrow Airport starting April 5 and will then increase its flights to twice daily later in the spring.
A British Airways spokesman confirmed the renewed service to Tel Aviv to JNS on Monday.
The resumption of service comes a week before the weeklong Passover holiday, when flights to and from Israel are generally heavily booked.
The Lufthansa Group of airlines announced last week that it will resume service to Israel next month. The global aviation group heavyweight includes Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, Brussels Airlines, ITA Airways and Eurowings.
Air France is due to renew flights to Tel Aviv at the end of the month.
European budget carriers are already flying to Tel Aviv.
The three major U.S. legacy carriers are still not flying to Israel, although Delta Airlines is scheduled to resume service between Tel Aviv and New York in April as well.
