The Lufthansa Group, which includes Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings, announces that it will operate daytime flights only to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport from Thursday, January 15 to Monday, January 19, 2026, citing the current situation in the Middle East.
“This means that crews will fly back directly without an overnight stay on site,” a Lufthansa representative said. “Some flights may also be canceled.”
Additionally, Iranian and Iraqi airspace will be bypassed by all Lufthansa Group airlines until further notice.
The Lufthansa Group is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to assess developments in the coming days. Affected passengers will be automatically rebooked and proactively contacted
