SWISS set to reinstate Tel Aviv flights with advanced safety protocols on September 5

Following a thorough evaluation of conditions in the Middle East, SWISS has determined that it can safely operate flights to and from Tel Aviv. Starting Thursday, September 5, the airline will renew its daily flights to the city, utilizing its long-haul Airbus A330 aircraft. Conversely, flights to and from Beirut will continue to be on hold until the end of October, a decision driven by commercial factors. Additionally, SWISS plans to utilize airspace over Iraq and a northeastern corridor in Iranian airspace for its flight routes. The foremost concern for SWISS remains safety. The airline’s dedicated team of safety experts is vigilantly assessing the regional security environment, maintaining ongoing communications with both local and international authorities. Should there be any need to adjust flight operations due to evolving conditions, SWISS is prepared to act immediately. Passengers who have reservations on the newly reinstated flights to Tel Aviv and choose not to travel for personal reasons are eligible for a full refund for any flights scheduled on or before September 15, 2024.<br/>
