The flights, utilizing Airbus A320neo-family aircraft, will run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Following a thorough analysis of the prevailing conditions, SWISS has determined that it can safely conduct flights to and from Tel Aviv. Bookings for the resumed flights will be available from Monday, December 18.
Additionally, SWISS will proceed with its planned resumption of flight operations to and from Beirut on Saturday, December 16. Beirut will be served twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using Airbus A220 and A320-family planes. The service to Beirut will continue until January 13, 2024, following which it will be temporarily suspended for the winter months until March 22, 2024, in accordance with previous plans.
Safety remains the top priority for SWISS, and the airline will continuously monitor the situation in Israel while maintaining close communication with local and international authorities. Schedule adjustments may be necessary based on any evolving conditions.
