Ryanair to resume flights to Israel after Terminal 1 opens at Ben Gurion

In a letter to the Ben Gurion International Airport administration, the Irish ultra-low-cost airline stated that it will not resume flights to Israel until Terminal 1 is reopened.

The ultra-low-cost carrier indicated that due to the excessively high costs and fees at Terminal 3, the company cannot operate flights at affordable fares for passengers travelling to/from Tel Aviv.

Ryanair requested the airport to apply its agreed Terminal 1 passenger charges to Ryanair flights on a temporary basis until they reopened Terminal 1. However, the airport rejected this request. As a result, the airline suspended flights to Tel Aviv with effect from Tuesday, February 27.
