Air France has resumed its nonstop service between Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport and Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. The airline had suspended the route earlier this month due to safety concerns amid escalating geopolitical tensions. After discussions with Israeli aviation authorities and monitoring the situation, Air France decided that conditions were stable enough to restart operations.
The decision contrasts with other major European carriers like British Airways and Lufthansa, which continue to suspend their services to Israel. On May 4, Air France halted its Paris–Tel Aviv flights following missile strikes near Ben Gurion Airport. This incident led several airlines to cancel flights as a precautionary measure.
Air France is now operating daily flights using Boeing 777-300 aircraft. According to Flightradar24 data, today's outbound flight AF0966 departed later than scheduled from Paris-Charles de Gaulle. The airline emphasized that it "constantly monitors developments in the geopolitical situation in the region to ensure the highest level of flight safety and security," as reported by The Times of Israel.
